I can't imagine what a blow this must be, for you guys and the thousands of others in the app industry. Can't be good for Apple's reputation in the mobile market. With the rise of Droid tech /open-source, this leaves us with a bad taste. The Apple 'Sauce' seems to be turning sour... A Few Bad Apples:

Seems as if they give the grace of a heads up to the big guys if in fact they do remove. At least they will have a chance to communicate with their users before their app up and disappears. …still waiting to see what their next move is.

I also got the same email as you and had 4 of my "bikini fart" apps removed. They featured photos to women in bikinis that made a "fart sound" when a button was tapped. They were funny, goofy apps with the intention of making people laugh, that's it. Absolutley nothing "overtly sexual" about them, and I rated them as 17+ just to avoid any hassles. If Apple's new policy really is to no longer allow "bikini girl" apps, then fine, I can accept that. But what I don't think is fair is, that so far, they've only seemed to have removed apps by smaller developers - yet they allow apps by Playboy, Victoria's Secret, etc. to remain. Heck, they even have Sports Illustrated Swimsuit app on their main App Store page in iTunes! Your conversation with Apple was interesting... I'm curious to see if they really will remove the apps by the bigger guys... Hi, sorry to hear about your troubles. I also got the same email as you and had 4 of my “bikini fart” apps removed.

What a joke! Pretty lame and unfortunate but hopefully you can just integrate that platform and migrate it to the droid operating system. What a joke!
