MiKandi: New App Store for Porn

The Apple mobile application store continues to ban adults-only (i.e., porn) apps. Since the Android OS is open-source, there has been nothing to stop a third party vendor from creating an app store that sells explicit content developed on the Android platform. That’s just what a company called MiKandi has done. The MiKandi Market will sell adults-only apps that will run on Android OS mobile phones. This includes the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, the Samsung Hero and the Motorola DROID, among others.

There currently is very little content in the MiKandi Market. The website has announcements that encourage developers to upload both free apps and apps for sale. Besides porn apps, the biggest development about MiKandi is that it may serve as a test bed for 3rd party app stores. If it proves to be popular, it may open the door to other Android app stores and may even lead to 3rd party Apple app stores.
