Mobile porn coming to Apple iPhone
Friday, January 11, 2008 - 01:35 PM EST

"The iPhone is definitely a sexy phone. It's also the perfect vehicle for bringing mobile porn to Americans, according to adult content producers at the annual AVN convention in Las Vegas," Sascha Segan reports for PC Magazine.

"And 2008 could be the year that pornography finally breaks through to the mobile user, thanks to new deals and advanced devices like the iPhone, said Ali Joone, co-founder and director of adult content firm Digital Playground," Segan reports.

"Digital Playground already delivers its porn in customized form to the iPhone; their site even auto-detects whether iPhone users are on Wi-Fi or EDGE," Segan reports.

"'The phones are changing,' with real Web browsers, streaming video and high-quality graphics, said Kate Sylvan, marketing and PR coordinator for porn firm Pink Visual. That means phones are ready for porn – and she says the iPhone is the best platform out there so far," Segan reports.

"Lance Cassidy, director of marketing for user-generated porn site XTube.com, agrees that phone porn is coming soon. They're working on a mobile phonesite right now, he says, and the iPhone is the ideal platform," Segan reports.

"Online video isn't the only way the iPhone is getting sexy. At the AVN show, OhMiBod announced a new version of their iPod-connected vibrator – this one specifically for the iPhone. The new OhMiBod 'NaughtiNano' line connects to iPhones to vibrate not only to the rhythms of music playing, but to the cadences of speech on the other end of a phone call. The new models cost $69," Segan reports.

"Apple had no comment on the iPhone's erotic allure," Segan reports.

Jan 11, 08 - 01:38 pm Comment from: Ampar

Everyone is coming and going so quickly these days.

Jan 11, 08 - 01:39 pm Comment from: Big Al

Let's see, one hand on the steering wheel, one hand holding the iPhone, one hand ....

No, this will not be a big seller.

Jan 11, 08 - 01:41 pm Comment from: Ampar

This should also help to thrust the sales of washable iPhone covers.

Jan 11, 08 - 01:41 pm Comment from: NeverFade

can't we already have porn on the iphone anyways? It's called Handbrake for a reason...

Jan 11, 08 - 01:42 pm Comment from: Mac n' Cheese

Auto eroticism?

Jan 11, 08 - 01:43 pm Comment from: Ampar

With "Start Me Up" playing in the background. But I don't know if this will work while riding the Tube.

Jan 11, 08 - 01:44 pm Comment from: Ampar

Good one, Mac n' Cheese!


Carjacked?

Jan 11, 08 - 01:46 pm Comment from: k_shaw

Thank God they're finally working on this! I've been waiting for so long. There's been countless times when I'm sitting in a staff meeting thinking, "you know what would pass the time during this boring meeting... some porn! But dammit, I left my computer in my office. Wait a sec!"

Now we'll all be walking around slightly bent over and with fists in your pockets.

iPhone, for when you absolutely must have porn... right now.

Jan 11, 08 - 01:48 pm Comment from: loopy_nj

Good thing in my state you need a hands-free phone while driving!

Jan 11, 08 - 01:49 pm Comment from: Thorin

OK, that does it, where's the nearest AT&T;store?

@torchwoord

Well, I once saw somebody read a porn-magazine on the train.
He hid it in what looked like an exercise-book and I could only see it because I was sitting across him on the other side of the waggon in the right angle.
That was really creepy. Because the porn looked quite hard.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:00 pm Comment from: Fitz

Putting that "beautiful 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display" to good use.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:06 pm Comment from: Jubei

BRING IT ON! hehe

Jan 11, 08 - 02:06 pm Comment from: ron

Another reason for Radical Islam to hate the USA.

MDN: Best Take EVER!!!!!!!!!

Jan 11, 08 - 02:14 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

@ ron

You're right! We should get rid of porn. And the women and the Jews and the faggots too.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:14 pm Comment from: nor

Another reason for the Religious Right to hate the average American.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:16 pm Comment from: Ray

From the way y'all have been ranting and raving about the thing...I though it already had porn.

Just my $0.02

Jan 11, 08 - 02:20 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

@ nor

I join churches just to get excommunicated from them.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:26 pm Comment from: Ampar

C1: Maybe just the gay, female rabbis. Set realistic goals and gradually expand the ring of hate.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:30 pm Comment from: fenman

Its not about bringing porn to the iPhone. The iPhone is porn.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:38 pm Comment from: ldm

Remember that porn solved the chicken and egg problem for VCR's.

Jan 11, 08 - 02:46 pm Comment from: Woody

@ C1: Oh no you di-int! *snap*

wink

Jan 11, 08 - 02:58 pm Comment from: Jim - TIV

@ron - the radicals in islam are gonna hate us no matter what we do

@nor - religious right hates the average american? not the "righty's" I know... but nice flame bait tactic.

@C1... very funny take! If you get excommunicated from more than one church, do they cancel each other out? I used to have a friend that thought that drinking diet pepsi canceled out eating big macs. Does it work that way?

@Ampar - lol. Duuuuude! You bucking to get a flame war started again?

Jan 11, 08 - 03:04 pm Comment from: Zune Tang®

Ampar, the ring of hate cannot be expanded fast enough. ChrissyOne, FULL SPEED AHEAD!

We are at WAR people. There's a war on the middle class, war on Christmas, and both Christianity in the U.S. and marriage are under attack!

It's us vs. them. I'd like to find the guy who came up with 'live and let live' and kick his ass.

Your potential. Our passion.™

You mean, er, me?

Jan 11, 08 - 03:20 pm Comment from: Mobi1

Very surprised nobody has made an iPod "Touch" joke on this yet...

Jan 11, 08 - 03:20 pm Comment from: DJ Rizzo

I can't believe the lack of "multi-touch" jokes on here.

Prediction: most read MDN article this week.

On a serious note, the porn industry is credited with advancing a lot of video technologies. They were the first to seriously get behind (no pun intended) video tape for viewing home movies and are often credited with the growth (no pun intended) of the web as a multimedia vehicle. So you could argue that this is more proof that iPhone is having a major impact on our techno-culture.

"I don't want any other phone, when I think about you iPod Touch myself"

It's the end of civilization as we know it.

Bucking? Nice!



Porn Flakes. It's not just a meal on your morning commute.

I'm not sure. The whole 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing gets kind of complicated when everyone hates you. O.o

@ Ampar

You forgot Rick Santorum.

Jan 11, 08 - 05:00 pm Comment from: Jim - TIV

C1... hates you? nah - is afraid of you more like.

"Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd." - Bertrand Russell

Windows Mobile has had porn for ages - you only need to take a look at all the c unts and p ricks using Microsoft software . . .

I'm not a wowser or anything but porn should be kept of mobile devices. It just makes it too easy for kids to get hold of. Isn't America awash with porn enough as it is? You're half the reason us Aussies are soon to be forced onto a clean feed internet system. Aparently the US makes more smut than any other country. I thought you were all God fearing.

Jan 12, 08 - 11:28 am Comment from: Big Dick Cheney

#1 porn name?

George Bush

is that like mangina?

Jan 12, 08 - 11:34 am Comment from: LorD1776

Isn't that George Wanker Bush?

Jan 12, 08 - 11:54 am Comment from: LorD1776

Davo,

Smut is about all we have left. Everything else went to China.

As for "God fearing":

No, that is all media propaganda. People like to claim that, in order to assuage their feelings of guilt over being a bunch of brain dead zombies who gobble up anything the likes of Hollywood and Washington, D.C. feed them. Their only fear is having that supply of slop cut off. We don't need any outside enemies to take us down. We are quite capable of doing it ourselves.

If you put it on the iTouch, they'll have to rename it the iFondle.

Davo...
You can notify your ISP that you want to opt out of the clean feed programme - then KRudd will know which stuff to watch at home! Of course, Little Johnny had a programme like this but in reverse!

C 1! Thou be-est in rare form! You da ..er ...ah woman!!!
I was always confused as to which religion to join since if I didn't join the others, I was bound for some form of eternal damnation anyway... My point of view is that all of my really good friends and mentors are bound for warmer climates, so I might as well prepare for a really big pool party!!!
