There are NO fruits without stones/pips
The definition of fruit is something that reproduces via internal seeds
As for some of the answerers -
Banana - has seeds in the centre of the fruit,check next time you eat one.
Coconut - The bit we eat is the seed, the exterior part, that is usually discarded but can be used to make fibres, is the fruit.
KIWI - Full of seeds
Strabwerries - Not fruit as they have seeds on the outside - technically they are droops

why has everyone named fruits that have seeds etc (kumquats, strawberries etc)
Seedlessness is an important feature of some fruits of commerce. Commercial cultivars of bananas and pineapples are examples of seedless fruits. Some cultivars of citrus fruits (especially navel oranges and mandarin oranges), table grapes, grapefruit, and watermelons are valued for their seedlessness. In some species, seedlessness is the result of parthenocarpy, where fruits set without fertilization. Parthenocarpic fruit set may or may not require pollination. Most seedless citrus fruits require a pollination stimulus; bananas and pineapples do not. Seedlessness in table grapes results from the abortion of the embryonic plant that is produced by fertilization, a phenomenon known as stenospermocarpy which requires normal pollination and fertilization.

Navel oranges, seedless grapes, seedless melons, persimmons, and there have to be others. Some are engineered that way and with some, it's just how the fruit develops under certain circumstances. I know that some fruits won't produce seeds if they aren't cross-pollinated.

Only ones that genetically altered by man. Bananas do have seeds and pineapples contain there seeds on the outside. And kiwi does have seeds. Only genetically altered by man like seedless grapes , oranges , watermelon etc. Are seedless so they can't reproduce.

I like GLH's answer, but bananas do have seeds. That's what the dark dots are in teh middle. Plus, bananas are technically berries, not a standard fruit classification.
