If you’ve been waiting for those Playboy archives ever since we heard about them in January, the wait is almost over. App Advice says the web app containing all back issues of the famously controversial gentleman’s magazine will finally be ready to go on the iPad tomorrow, for a subscription price of $8 a month, of course. Back in March, an iPad app was released, but it’s since disappeared from the App Store, perhaps because of Apple’s restrictions on adult content there. Of course, the web app has no such restrictions, so interested subscribers will be able to browse all of Playboy’s 50-plus years of content.
We’re just reading it for the articles, of course. But if this flies with consumers, we may see more publications going with a web-based content service occasionally, rather than depending on the Apple App Store to deliver archived content.
