yes, they got rid of all the sexy apps, except the Girls of Surfing magazine, Hooters Calendar, FHM (featuring "Girl of the Week" and "Non-Stop Honeys"), and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 09 app and on and on. What it looks like more than anything else, is that Apple has decided to rid the App store of sexy apps related to smaller enterprises, for fear of offending magazine publishers who might just want to port FHM and Maxim and Sports Illustrated etc. etc. to the iPad. The purge looks very much like it's targeting only those who can't really fight back... Once again, App Store fail.
