Nice little article... I never made the connection in business plans between AOL and Apple, but it's a solid point.

And, if Apple is rejecting apps because they're porn, then, shouldn't they also ban email and the internet? Just saying...

I wonder how many apps there are for Windows Mobile devices... Sure, they're not all in one store, but I'd be willing to be there are more than 100K.
