Apple: No iBoobs for iPhone

Ruins Christmas for geeks everywhere

Share

(Newser) – Apple has ruined Christmas for geeks everywhere, denying them an intensely useful iPhone application called iBoobs. Apple rejected iBoobs from its app store, saying it contained “objectionable content.” The program allowed iPhone users to shake their phones to jiggle a virtual pair of breasts. Apple encouraged the developer to rework the app, though it’s hard to imagine how, the Register muses.
