The print magazine business isn’t doing so hot right now, but Sports Illustrated might just have found a new business model: selling an iPhone app featuring models from its 2009 Swimsuit Issue. Although the Swimsuit issue came out in February, the app just hit the iTunes store today (iTunes link). Marketed as the “World’s Sexiest App” with a 17+ age rating, it costs $2.99. I’m sure it’s going to make a mint.
What do you get for $2.99? Photos of 20 models including Brooklyn Decker and Danica Patrick in various states of bikini nothingness and “breathtaking bodypainting videos.” There are also other “intimate” videos for each model. Does Playboy have an iPhone app? It might save them too.
Oh yeah, and there’s also a sports calendar that sports fans keep track of up to six different pro and college teams, featuring a different Swimsuit model each month.
Azuki Systems created the app for Sports Illustrated. BlackBerry owners will have to wait until August for their swimsuit model fix.
Sorry folks; 80% of these women aren’t real, but “sculpted” by plastic surgery of some kind.
That’s fine. Real or fake they are gorgeous!
yep , this app would be in the top lists soon!
or photoshop
How do you photoshop a video? These are the real Sports Illustrated girls in the videos aren’t they? Are you saying that the videos are some kind of CGI?
America the great country where SEX sells no matter what.
“done” button????
Good eye
what are you implying?
Quick release? there’s an app for that
Voice activated would keep the screen clean.
Why would I pay $3 for something I can get for free?
Because dressing your hand up in a sock puppet can only fool yourself so long
why would someone pay $3 to see pictures of these girls on your iphone if you could get them for free on the internet? Am I missing something here? Is there some strange fetish that I’m completely ignorant of involving pictures of chicks on the iphone?
i bet you these are fake pics….nevertheless good one’s for publication… but what we are gonna do with these app on iphone…eh
who cares if they are fake..the pics are still the closest any of us will get to them..
when I was 16 teen the SI swimsuit thingy mattered but now it is rather boring when you consider how much free stuff is online…
pretty much google and yahoo image search killed the porn magazine business. btw if you want to see big busted natural women. check out national geographic’s women of the amazon
Playboy on iPhone? How about 53 free issues of Playboy (1954-2006) on your iPhone/iPod touch by adding RSS http://gasi.ch/go/playboy to the Microsoft Live Labs Seadragon Mobile iPhone app.
Enjoy.
You are awesome!!!
Is this $3 for 20 some odd pictures? Or is there a monthly option to keep the app fresh? And didn’t Apple just reject some other sexy photo app?
People do realize that they have web browser on their iPhones, right? Why would somebody pay $3 to see some models when they have access to thousands for free? *totally baffled*
Or just install any porn web app tailored for the iPhone such as hotiphon… Interesting how “sex” and iPhone do grab attention… despite the fact Apple don’t allow them… Seems counter-productive
OK How about a real review:
I just downloaded it to form my own opinion. There is much more to this app that isn’t covered in this forum. As far as apps go, it’s well worth the money. What other $3 iPhone app lets you configure teams to monitor, broadcasts your schedules and scores, while letting you look at your favorite supermodels (which on the phone don’t look fake at all). Also it looks like about 100 photos not 20. The video content is definitely pushing the envelope on what Apple App store will allow which I really like.
I think the value here is in the ability to customize this thing to look the way you want and monitor the teams you want across different sports.
You should be able to pinch them in the nipples. or swipe them at least
I only get the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue to read the articles, so I wasn’t sure the iPhone app would be for me – but since it has a way to monitor teams, GREAT!
I get the magazine (what can I say I like chicks) and now I got this app. For those of you afraid of the $2.99 (which is about the same cost as buying one issue off the rack here in N.Y.) it’s like having a video version of the magazine on your phone. Oh, Do they have that on the web? Cause I WANT the link. There are some awesome videos of all of the supermodels (even my girl Danica). So it’s not just 20 random fake chicks, it’s the whole elite cast of SI. And if your a fan of them like me you know they are REAL!
Yeah, Marclol, interesting how they allow “what sells beeg” and censor the low-fashion farters
If they developed an app to show beautiful butts would it be censored unless it showed enough of the rest of the body to prove the butt belonged to a beautiful female? And how many centimeters of the rest of the body would constitute proof?
Bikini Inspector ’s got 90+ models
and hotter ones
Fellas… Looks like a lot more is in this thing than y’all are saying. Did you even see the calendar with all the team scores, and the videos?
I just downloaded this. The pictures are great. I love the calendar features, I can keep track on my Mets!
Just downloaded it. There is nothing “NOT COOL” about this app! Some of the hottest videos I’ve ever seen. How many videos can they fit on my phone? Are they even on my phone? There seems like a lot of them, and the download wasn’t that big.
I like very much the writings and pictures and explanations in your adress so I look forward to see your next writings.
