ipad therefore i am Playboy Catalogue Will Be Available on the iPad — Uncensored 
 
 Like all other people who exclusively wear turtlenecks, Steve Jobs is really anti-porn. Well, that's not necessarily true. He's against having porn on the iPad, his precious rectangle of light and goodness. It's about children, he says. (Presumably it also has something to do with the touch-screen technology — but that doesn't make for good sound bite, now does it?) Apparently, however, after testing out a nudity-free app for the magazine Playboy for less than half a year, he's willing to make some concessions. It seems, wait for it, people aren't just reading Playboy for the articles. Hugh Hefner tweeted today that the entire catalogue of current and archived editions of his magazine will be available on the iPad starting in March. Uncensored. 
 
 Of course, you can already download the entire catalogue from the Internet onto your computer (for $300) but since iPads don't support Microsoft Silverlight, you can't download it directly onto that particular device. Gizmodo wonders whether this means Playboy will be available through Apple's new iPad subscription service. That could be, or it may just mean that Playboy will make it easier to download the catalogue from the Internet to your iPad, thus allowing Steve Jobs to still maintain his porn-free streak when it comes to apps. 
 
 Playboy catalog coming to the iPad in March. Uncensored. [Apple Headlines] ||||| Adult magazine Playboy has announced that its entire catalog is headed to the iPad in March, suggesting Apple plans to change its stance on banning mature content from the iOS App Store. 
 
 
 
 "Big news! Playboy —both old & new —will be available on iPad beginning in March," was posted on the official Twitter account of publisher Hugh Hefner this week. Subsequent posts reaffirmed that the entire catalog will be available uncensored.Of course, it's also possible that the Playboy issues could come to iPad with Web-based access through the device's Safari browser. Hefner's posts made no mention of the App Store, or potential approval from Apple.An application with nudity would violate the existing guidelines for App Store software, published by Apple last fall. The "Content" section of the official App Store Review Guidelines specifically prohibits pornography."Apps containing pornographic material, defined by Webster's Dictionary as 'explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings,' will be rejected," the section reads.Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs has cited pornography as one of the major reasons all software on the App Store must be approved . Last year he noted that there is a "porn store" for the Google Android mobile operating system, Apple's chief competitor in the mobile space."You can download it, your kids can download it," Jobs said. "That's a place we don't want to go, so we're not going to."If issues from Playboy are indeed coming to the App Store, it would be a 180-degree change for Apple, which has not allowed adult content in native iOS software for the iPhone and iPad.Playboy already has an official application available on the App Store for 99 cents, though it does not include any nudity. The official description for the application notes "This app does NOT contain any nude content."
– Has Apple gotten over its porn hang-up? Hugh Heffner set off a wave of speculation by suggesting as much on Twitter today. “Big news! Playboy—both old & new—will be available on iPad beginning in March,” he tweeted, according to Apple Insider. Playboy already has a censored app, but most are assuming that this apparent full archive wouldn’t all be covered up. Apple’s app store guidelines of course forbid nudity. “You can download it, your kids can download it. That’s a place we don’t want to go,” Steve Jobs once said. Could this open those floodgates? Maybe. But Hefner didn't actually mention the app store. Playboy already offers its full archive for $300 online, New York points out, so it's possible they've simply found a way to allow iPads to download that treasure trove from their browsers, "allowing Steve Jobs to still maintain his porn-free streak when it comes to apps."
