Remember iBoobs, and how it got rejected? Well, there's another jiggling-photo app out there, called iPhone Wobble, and it's facing the stern wag of Apple's finger.

The developers of the photo-enhancement application, which leverages the iPhone's motion sensor to add "wobble regions" to a given photo, were contacted by Apple reps and told to remove any references to "boobs" or "booty" in their description.

Clearly, this doesn't leave the developers much to work with.

Jon Atherton took a call from a "nice fellow in developer relations" at Apple who told him those two words are not acceptable promotional terms and must be removed.

So Wobble remains available, albeit described in the neutered form: "You can make two (censored) and (censored) jiggle and bounce like real when you shake your phone."

It all seems a bit silly: everyone knows what the app is used for: either it's allowed, or it's not.

Just keep this in mind: if you're using your iPhone to see shaking breasts, you're unlikely to be seeing the real things any time soon.
