UPDATE: All of our initial titles have now been approved.  We have not yet seen a rejection based on content.

I know many of you have expressed concern over Apple’s policies for inclusion in the App Store when it comes to content.  Particularly because of the rejection of a comic created specifically for the iPhone called “Murderdrome”.

I don’t know the full extent of the content in that book, but what I’ve seen from it had people decapitated and the murder of others as a fun sport.  From what I understand it was satirical in nature, but having not seen it in its entirety, I can’t very well comment on the content of it.

What I can comment on is the content of our first round of titles.  So far we have submitted 6 completed books, 5 of which have been approved.  The content on these books has ranged from “G” to “PG-13” and all of them have been approved with no trouble.

So, while there is certainly still some question as to what Apple is and is not going to allow into their store, it certainly doesn’t look like it’s going to be huge problem.  I’ll admit when that stuff first started happening I was afraid Apple was going to be gun shy and not let ANYTHING in – and that has certainly proven to NOT be the case.

So – all is looking well here.  We’ve decided to launch the first titles on Nov. 1st – so be on the look out…they will be in the App Store very soon.
