I've seen other blog posts wondering whether removing these apps from the iTunes store means that Apple will censor the books it sells through the iBook store. Evidently, choosing not to sell the iBoobs app makes them the worst people since Stalin. My feeling is that the Constitution doesn't protect the right to sell sexy apps for the iPhone, because the iPhone is a product designed, built, and sold by one company. Apple is perfectly within its rights to not sell apps it deems unsuitable, for whatever reason. Currently, the iTunes music store sells plenty of music labeled "Explicit," indicating that strong language or other adult lyrical content is present. Thus, I don't think we have to worry about censorship of books.
