Apple iPad going explicit – Is it the right move?

It was not too long ago that we told you about Apple’s plans to create an ‘explicit’ category for the iPhone App Store, but now we have confirmation that Apple will be doing the same thing for the upcoming iPad tablet.

If you head over to Apple Insider, you will be able to view a series of screenshots that they have obtained, showing a iPad parenal control tab that brings up the various filters relating to the explicit content.

Another feature that might be a worry to some of you, is the inclusion of an ‘internal’ iTunes link, which will include a ‘Top iPad Explicit Software’ category.

Is this really a smart move for Apple? Two sides to the arguement we feel here – so let us know where you stand on Apple’s move to ‘the dark side’.
