NINE INCH NAILS iPhone Application Approved By APPLE

May 7, 2009

RollingStone.com reports: The delayed update to NINE INCH NAILS' iPhone application has finally been approved by Apple, according to a Tweet from the band's tech-savvy mastermind, Trent Reznor.

The news follows some online railing against Apple, who initially had rejected the update, because, the company claimed, it contained objectionable content that originated from the band's 1994 album "The Downward Spiral". Reznor reasoned that since the record is sold through the iTunes store, an app with the same content (the app's podcast feature boasts "Closer", the song that helped earned the disc a "Parental Advisory" warning) should be treated no differently. And apparently, his public outcry has shifted the company's thinking on the matter, and, as Reznor excitedly announced this afternoon, it "should be live in a few hours."
