Playboy archives coming to iPad tomorrow

by Mike Schramm May 18th 2011 at 8:35PM

If you've been waiting for those Playboy archives ever since we heard about them in January, the wait is almost over. App Advice says the web app containing all back issues of the famously controversial gentleman's magazine will finally be ready to go on the iPad tomorrow, for a subscription price of $8 a month, of course. Back in March, an iPad app was released, but it's since disappeared from the App Store, perhaps because of Apple's restrictions on adult content there. Of course, the web app has no such restrictions, so interested subscribers will be able to browse all of Playboy's 50-plus years of content.

We're just reading it for the articles, of course. But if this flies with consumers, we may see more publications going with a web-based content service occasionally, rather than depending on the Apple App Store to deliver archived content.

That one in the middle looks familiar. My dad had a jigsaw puzzle of a Playboy centerfold hanging in the garage when I was a kid. I think it was her.

Actual page scans. Even ads. The screenshot another website used showed an old BMW ad that I found more fascinating than the magazine content.

Finally someone figured out how to deliver porn through the web.

Sadly, the girls in Playboy are not what they used to be. Sometime in the nineties, they pretty much went with blond, over-'enhanced' strippers almost exclusively.

And then there are the 'celebrities' they pay the big bucks to undress... Famous does not automatically equal pretty.

Agreed. If you're looking for porn, there's a browser right there on the home screen, and it'll get you porn of (literally) anything and everything, almost all of it free.

now for all the 'home button is stuck' issues the genius at the Apple Stores will have to witness.
