Just a day after Amazon was slapped with a lawsuit by Apple, the app store MiKandi (which is brimming with porn and other “adult” apps) has received a cease-and-desist letter from Apple. MiKandi’s a pretty small operation, so are understandably worried about taking on Apple’s legal might.
The only reason VHS won over Betamax was because of porn. And HD DVD very nearly eclipsed Blu-ray (sorry to bring up bad memories) due to Sony’s reluctance to allow adult entertainment publishers onto its format. Now, Android’s 16,000 apps haven’t scared Apple yet, but an alternative app store that’s sprung up could see Apple’s prudishness be its downfall.
