Despite Apple&'s history of putting Church Lady restrictions on app content, Playboy has announced that it&'s bringing every issue of the magazine ever published to the iPad.‚ So rejoice, fans of woman-shaped manikins and terrible cartoon jokes.
It&'s not yet clear whether Apple has eased its restrictions on app content (which, as written, would ban Playboy&'s content) or the mag would be made available via the Web.
It&'s &''possible that the Playboy issues could come to iPad with Web-based access through the device&'s Safari browser,&'' notes Katie Marshal of AppleInsider. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner himself made the announcement via Twitter. But, says Marshal, &''Hefner&'s posts made no mention of the App Store, or potential approval from Apple.&''
Last week, Playboy announced that it would go private in a deal valuing the once-mighty publisher at $207 million.
