In what appears to be a shift from its strict guidelines, Apple has approved the first App Store program with nudity. The "Hottest Girls" app shows iPhone and iPod Touch users pictures of scantily clad women, and some of the models are topless. There are many apps in the iPhone store that depict women in various states of undress, but this is the first official program that shows nudity.
