Has Steve Jobs just given the world the best argument for ditching the iPhone and grabbing an Android handset?

Over on the Technically Incorrect blog today you can read about an email exchange between Apple CEO Steve Jobs and a customer concerned with Apple's stance as moral policeman over its decision to block the work of political satirist and cartoonist Mark Fiore, and other interconnected matters including porn. Jobs responded by acknowledging the decision to block Fiore's app was a mistake, but went on to confirm this customer's concerns.

"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone. Folks who want porn can buy and [sic] Android phone."

Why, you might ask, does Jobs reference Android specifically? At a guess he is referring to a new Android app store for adults called MiKandi. The store, which apparently sells pornographic content, is intended for a range of adult content, including Japanese Hentai cartoons, video games and apps like drinking games.

Maybe adult content isn't your cup of tea, but do you think you should have the right to your phone in whatever way you see fit?
