It looks like Microsoft also took a page out of Apple's book when it comes to content restrictions--according to the 28-page document that outlines the new guidelines [PDF], apps containing sex/nudity, provocative images, porn, suggestions or depictions of prostitution, sexual fetishes, or basically anything that "a reasonable person would consider to be adult or borderline adult content" will be rejected from the Marketplace.

Microsoft elaborated that it would disallow apps containing "images that reveal nipples, genitals, buttocks, or pubic hair".

You can't get porn etc on the iPhone either though.

Android FTW. Least its not (yet) copying Apple entirely...

download pr0n vids to PC, then uplaod said pr0n vids or pics to phone via Zune software, or just sync your pr0n folder, done. Do people really want a porn app? And for that matter, do people actually pay for porn still?

Well, porn isn't allowed in the Android Market either.

hahaha, have you actually ever been into the android market..? I have lost count how much porn is on there. Porn, people selling roms for emulators, and just plain IP theft. It is a fraudsters paradise...

I am actually surprised companies haven't kicked up a stink to google, having so many of these apps on their store.

I am aware that the Android Market is poorly run and that they do not do enough to enforce their own rules (which, like I said, explicitly state no porn.)

Actually MS doesn't decided what you do on your phone, they just decide what they want to sell on their store. which is fair enough. it just so happens that the official marketplace is the only place to get WP7 apps. But I'm sure that won't last.

I know its likely that Windows Phone will eventually get Flash but link please to where it says it will get it in the first update?

It's not officialy the first update but considering how Adobe's working on it and they seem to have it ready for Android I wouldn't put it that far out of the realm of possibility.

Mmm considering the delays there were getting it ready for Android I'll amazed if its delivered on time to Windows Phone.

My Company does a lot of work with Microsoft (we are Gold Partners) and Windows Mobile 6.5 and have been approached by Microsoft to port our Apps to Windows 7 Phone. I am the "Windows Guy" amongst a sea of Linux Gurus so, I spend my most of my day defending Microsoft.

I am less concerned with the lack of porn than that the platform seems to be mimicking iPhone 1 (no cut/paste, no flash, no porn, Windows 7 Marketplace)

I would really like recommend Windows 7 Phone, but am dismayed over the lack of innovation and differentiation.

Been holding out getting a Smart Phone... Waiting for Android to mature, Windows 7 Phone to emerge.

I think I am going to have to get an iPhone (sigh)
