Daring Fireball: Ninjawords: iPhone Dictionary, Censored by Apple

Apple forced the makers of a dictionary to remove “objectionable” words before allowing it onto the App Store. Waiting for that Steve Jobs blog post saying they’re changing how they’re going to run that any day now…

I’d been looking for a good iPhone dictionary and was unhappy with the Dictionary.com one, which I deleted almost immediately. Since I already know all my curse words, I’ve bought Ninjawords and will give it a try (link opens iTunes).

Update: Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller responds.
