 Adult magazine Playboy has announced that its entire catalog is headed to the iPad in March, suggesting Apple plans to change its stance on banning mature content from the iOS App Store. Playboy —both old & new —will be available on iPad beginning in March," was posted on the official Twitter account of publisher Hugh Hefner this week. Of course, you can already download the entire catalogue from the Internet onto your computer (for $300) but since iPads don't support Microsoft Silverlight, you can't download it directly onto that particular device. "That's a place we don't want to go, so we're not going to.
– Has Apple gotten over its porn hang-up? Hugh Heffner set off a wave of speculation by suggesting as much on Twitter today. “Big news! Playboy—both old & new—will be available on iPad beginning in March,” he tweeted, according to Apple Insider. Playboy already has a censored app, but most are assuming that this apparent full archive wouldn’t all be covered up. Apple’s app store guidelines of course forbid nudity. “You can download it, your kids can download it. That’s a place we don’t want to go,” Steve Jobs once said. Could this open those floodgates? Maybe. But Hefner didn't actually mention the app store. Playboy already offers its full archive for $300 online, New York points out, so it's possible they've simply found a way to allow iPads to download that treasure trove from their browsers, "allowing Steve Jobs to still maintain his porn-free streak when it comes to apps."
