There is a new app in the iPhone AppStore that helps users count cards while playing BlackJack. The application has gotten so many downloads that the Nevada Gaming Control Board sent warnings to all state casinos recently, resulting in iPhone bans in some casinos.
Also, Apple recently banned a few mildly pornographic apps and a few that they deemed possessed "too violent" imagry. Some of these apps and their developers have found new homes developing for Android, the Google competitor. Google has stated that since Android is too be truly "open" people can develop pretty much whatever that wish for the OS. Personally, over time I think this open application model will win over the Apple-dictatorship model. People flocked to the Web because they could produce and consume whatever they wanted without "portal approval" nanny-ism.
