Poor old Apple. Just when Steve Jobs wants everyone to be talking about the 3G iPhone’s potential for awesome games and innovative GPS applications, instead the web is buzzing about the handset’s potential for adult content. According to one adult company, it’s “by far the porn-friendliest phone”. I can understand why the adult industry is scrambling to make its content available for the iPhone - millions have been sold, it’s got a great web browser, and iPhone users are demonstrably using it to look at websites and stream videos. According to one industry spokesperson, there are now a few hundred iPhone porn sites, all hoping to make their fortune from Apple’s touchscreen handsets. But is iPhone porn really going to be the next big thing? I doubt it. Continue reading ‘iPhone porn the next big thing? Come off it!’

Playboy Mobile is looking for a face to solidify its credentials in the mobile porn space. So if you are an aspiring glamour model and are looking for the chance to secure $5000 in exchange for some nude photos of you at the Playboy Mansion (as well as the accolade of Miss Playboy Mobile 2008) then Mr Hefner is awaiting your call.
Entrants need to be at least 18 years old and presumably capable of fitting into some exceedingly skimpy under garments. The winning playmate will be voted for by the porn loving public and officially sworn in to the temple of the bunny at the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at Vegas’ Palms Casino on April 2.
Any takers?

While the Pocket Picks team is gearing up for next month’s Mobile World Congress, a similarly-titled show is happening this week in the US focusing on one particular niche of the mobile world. The niche that involves people putting things into each others’ niches… Yep, I’m talking pr0n, with the show in question being the Mobile Adult Content Congress.
What’s more, it seems Apple’s iPhone is set to be at the forefront of mobile erotica. Adult entertainment lawyer Gregory Piccionelli says that the iPhone is perfect for pornography due to its large screen and proper web browser. “It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment,” he says, predicting that soon, consumers will be offered free adult content as a carrot to get them to sign up to paid services like live video or ‘adult dates’.
Will the iPhone be a pornhunter’s paradise? There are already some sites for it from the likes of Playboy, Digital Playground and the Suicide Girls. Normally when writing about iPhone-specific mobile content, I’d speculate on how its touchscreen interface could be used in the future, but in this case… Maybe that’s best left.
