who looks worse Apple or Allan the Geek?

This week Xbiz was heralding the arrival of the first porn app for the Iphone.
I however knew it wouldnt last.

The developer put himself further on the radar by asking to have the app taken down while he got some more solid hosting [too bad he doesnt frequent Oprano for the scoop on how to run an adult biz[.

Today Apple removes his topless app from Itunes and now he doesnt need anymore servers.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a finger pointing cluster fuck.

Apple's strength is also it's weakness.

At least until Steve Jobs kicks off, safe bet Apple continues to tightly control EVERYTHING about their products and even the app store add-ons. You play by their rules or you do not play at all. That control has led Apple's products to be tightly integrated, nice UI and ergonomically outstanding in most regards.

It also lets them keep high margins which in turn let's them offer a level of service that most consumer brand's cant touch. Add all of this together and you see where the fanatical following that is their success comes from.

But we're living in a world that is increasingly about open source and open collaboration. In that regard it is their weakness. Someone at some point should put a "porn store" out there for Android. Hmmm....
