Banned (in 2008) from Apple's App Store, iBoobs finds refuge in Android Market

Here we go, folks. Mystic Game Development made quite the name for itself with its iBoobs app for the iPhone, which got itself banned from Apple's App Store in late 2008. Now it's found refuge more than two years later in the Android Market, and it's sent out a slew of e-mails to announce and celebrate. (And probably to poke the bear a little bit.)

iBoobs for the iPhone got rejected by Apple around two years ago. This was

any sexy applications. This caused a big discussion about Apple deciding what

people can download on their phones and what not. Websites worldwide such as

Fox News, Gizmodo and Spiegel Online covered this news.

We recently decided to do an experiment and create iBoobs for Android, which

is now currently available in the Android app market store. We think the fact

that it is available on Android does show that the Android platform offers

more flexibility and is more open-minded to app developers.

For the Android version we also implemented some new features such as:
