The iPad Will Get Playboy In March



Playboy boss Hugh Hefner has confirmed that ? despite Steve Jobs' protestations that Apple is pure and Android is for porn ? an app for browsing uncensored back issues of Playboy is to launch later this year on the iPad. The news, which is likely to generate significantly more buzz for Apple's popular tablet as a publishing device than Rupert Murdoch's delayed digital newspaper, The Daily, comes courtesy of Hefner's Twitter stream, in which he proclaimed: 'Big news! Playboy ? both old & new ? will be available on [the] iPad beginning in March.'



This 48 hours after SJ left the helm. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.



Of course Playboy is not porn! It is nudity, not porn!

    This has already been clarified - Playboy will have a web-based subscription service:

    There is already an app available but it is apparently text-only.

    So either that Playboy subscription service is not Flash-based, or the iPad2(iOS5?), in that case apparently to be launched in March, will be Flash-compatible so that Apple's stance on what they consider smut will have become moot?
