I believe Nokia would do the same too, but that's exactly why we need to support Free platforms. If a business is risking a boycott by allowing "objectionable" apps, then its duty to its shareholders is to remove them. It is not the place of a business to make moral judgments.

But it's definitely a bad direction for society to go if anything that a vocal group of people finds bad is made hard to acquire. The censorship nutters will invariably win with the Apple model. Nokia has sidestepped the whole issue by not positioning itself as the sole gatekeeper to its devices.

And this is why we must make sure Nokia wins.

Thanks god(s) I live in one of the most atheistic country in the world! But from what I know - they didn't ban it entirely but just moved to other repo, did they? Last time I checked iPhone/Android repositories, it was full of these useless apps so I understand it as cleanup.

if they remove these apps, appstore will no longer be famous for having millions of apps.... and counting

Someone should make a risqué/porno app for the N900 just to get one-up on the iPhone.

You know, I did have a problem with the violence in 'angry birds'. But I got over it. Interesting cultural statement about killing pigs, though...

N900 doesn't need porn. It has bears.
