Uncensored Playboy iPad App Will Not Be a Native App
Back in August, Hugh Hefner, the pajama-clad founder of incredibly popular men’s magazine Playboy, announced that a Playboy app for Apple’s iPad would be released to the public, but he said at the time that the app would not feature any playmates because of the strict rules against nudity the App Store enforces. To be more precise, Hefner said “Playboy will be available on iPad without the playmates. Steve Jobs has a thing about nudity.”
This month Hefner announced via Twitter that the iPad app will be released this March and that it will feature uncensored images of playmates, from the playmates that posed for Playboy 56 years ago, up to the most recent playmates. Images of playmates from the 650 Playboy issues spanning 56 years will be available in the app.

How can that be, you ask? Apple would never allow an app that features nudity and adult content, you may be thinking. It is true Apple would never allow a native iPad app that features adult content. What Hugh Hefner forgot to mention is that the Playboy app for the iPad will not be a native app, it will be a web app.
“We are releasing a web-based subscription service with Bondi Digital Publishing that will give users access to every issue of Playboy both past and present. The service will be iPad-compatible and will utilize iPad functions,” said Playboy spokesman Theresa Hennessey, clearing things up in an interview for Fox News.
Hennessey said that a native Playboy app would be released for the iPad. She said the app will be released sometime in “the following months”. The native app will feature only safe for work images of playmates, it will adhere to the App Store’s policies and guidelines which, as we all know, are very strict when it comes to adult content.
