Playboy's Official iPhone App Hits the App Store

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Apple has approved a Playboy application with no nudity.

If you're one of the many, many men who read Playboy, "for the articles" then you're going to love, love, love the publication's newly available iPhone application. Not only does it offer access to some of the main articles featured in the magazine each month, but it also cuts out all those pesky images of naked girls. Finally, a way to read Playboy without the clutter!

TechCrunch reports that aside from featuring easy access to selected articles, the app is actually quite fast, with "very slick and sexy" transitioning between different areas. The app also includes the data sheet for the featured Playmate of the month, along with some "clothed" photos and a video. Use of the word 'clothed' is rather loose, I'm assuming.

Interestingly, the next iteration of the app will allow for in-app purchasing, meaning you can actually purchase hard copies of past issues.

Click here to buy the app ($1.99).

Sorry for the delay. Everyone would be happy to post comments on this but we're all out looking for the missing pictures from the app.

Playboy for the articles only? What's next get rid of the Hooters girls and go there for the ambiance and food.

Playboy was great once. But I can find all those pics for free now. Plus about anything else I could imagine, thank goodness for those creative Japanese. O.o

I think it's pretty neat that the editors respond here.

Sorry Playaboy hasn't been replaced by Redtube or anyother porn site. Playboy is Playboy and everything else is well everything else. Playboy always gets exclusive girls that the hardcore magazines and porn sites don't get and believe it or not, not everyone wants hardcore porn. And for the dude who said he looked at it when he was 13, well your not 13 anymore but 10,000,000 other kids now are.

Nycokla :
why did you get an opinionated female to write this?



I picked it myself because I thought it was something you guys would be interested in.

I read FHM for the articles.
PlayBoy has few good articles every now and then. Magazine porn has grown boring to me (due to the invention of this 'internets').

I debated putting "hah" in brackets after but figured it was a bit too low-brow...

I'm curious if you would have made such a big deal about Playgirl or Blueboy having an iPhone app, or if it would even be allowed. Ironic that this article was written by a woman, pandering to straight males.

And here I was looking forward to creating a new type of digital communications device - the SmutPhone!
