'Kondom Localizr' App Brings 'Rubber' Atlas to the iPhone

by Warren Riddle on October 12, 2009 at 05:18 PM


Apple has developed a reputation for taking a staid, old-fashioned approach to its iTunes store, but an app for Swiss iPhone owners could actually inspire people to engage in more carnal activities. According to Textually, the $3.99 'Kondom Localizr' app automatically alerts the user to the nearest of 3,000 condom dispensers throughout Switzerland. Since the safe-sex app is intended to raise AIDS awareness, it's nice to see that Apple can actually differentiate between shilling porn and promoting sexual health -- in Switzerland, at least.
