Apple Apps Are Explisit :/.........OH NO!!!!!!
This application is not in full use yet but there will be soon and application that will allow users of the apple iphone and ipod touch as well as being able to go online and downloading the app to last generations ipods. This change is allowing apple to creat an adult only section to there app store. After a number of complaints and having to take down over 5,000 applications for being overly sexual they have come up with the plan for and adults only section. This has come from conserned parents with children having the iphone and ipod touch and seeing them find content that is not ment for them. What do you think the apple application? do you think that people will like it of will these kids just click on the application anyway just to see what is there?

I've read somewhere that this is Apple's move to help the iPad be more marketable to schools for educational purposes. I think the last thing an administration would want to deal with is some legal issue when a parent finds a kid is looking at scantily clad women on an app they downloaded. It's speculation, more or less, but still, worth mentioning?
Im sure kids will still find a way to purchase apps from the adult only section, and if they cant, its not like they cant go look for "adult material" on the internet.
I think that is a pretty pragmatic idea. They already have explicit labels on certain songs. Why not certain applications? Even if kids find ways to break that barrier, at least Apple can protect itself from angry parents.
