Apple founder Steve Jobs has reaffirmed his commitment to keep what he considers to be smut away from the iPhone platform, while slamming Android as a porn-lover's dream.
Mr Jobs' scathing attack on the rival platform surfaced in emails he sent to answer a customer's question, this time in regard to Apple's position in controlling the content that is available on the iPhone.
"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone. Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone," said Mr Jobs in his response to customer Matthew Browning.
He also revealed that the recent decision to bar cartoonist Mark Fiore's satrical iPhone app from the App Store had been a "mistake" and that the banned title would soon be sold via the download market.
This is the second time in a month that Jobs has hit out against Android with a porn-related dig.
Speaking at a developers conference he told delegates: "You know, there's a porn store for Android. You can download nothing but porn. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That's a place we don't want to go – so we're not going to go there."
