'Adult' iPhone app causes a stir
The first sexually explicit iPhone application went on sale at Apple’s iTunes App Store on Thursday, only to be withdrawn a few hours later. The Hottest Girls application was available for $1.99, offering users random pictures of women, including some featuring nudity.The application was the first to offer explicit content for the iPhone 3.0 operating system. Apple opened the door for such content when it included age verification and parental control features in the latest update of the software. Shortly after the nude photograph feature went live, downloads of the application skyrocketed. The resulting surge in traffic was enough to take down the server that distributed the photos, forcing Leung to request that the app be temporarily removed from the store until the problem could be solved.
