Playboy for iPad bypasses Apple's nudity rules

The Apple app store has a strict "no nudity" policy, but that hasn't stopped Playboy from devising a crafty way to bypass the rules and finally bestow scantily-clad women upon its iPad-owning fans.

Technically Playboy does already have an app, but Apple's whole clothes-on clause means you need to use a little imagination. The latest Playboy offering is the real deal.

So, how did they do it? Simple. The new iPlayboy experience isn't really an app at all, it's actually just a website that’s been optimised for the iPad.

iPlayboy looks and behaves very much like any other iPad magazine app that you'd download from the iTunes App Store, and comes complete with slick page-turning and that lets you "rotate your iPad to view a single page or double-page spreads."

Subscriptions cost $8 per month, or $60 for the whole year. A bargain price for on-demand boobs in your briefcase.
