Default iPhone Porn

Will porn be the secret engine that drives 3G iPhone sales? Cellphone pornography still hasn’t become big in the U.S., but Time writes about “the coming pornucopia” of mobile porn via the new iPhone. 3G plus multi-touch, hello!

Apple may be golden because of the iPhone, but the soon-to-be-updated device is also increasingly the source of forbidden fruit. Steve Jobs' company is keeping a civil, if embarrassed, silence on one of the potentially most lucrative and controversial uses of its handheld jewel: porn.

Quote:
In 2007, the international market for mobile adult content reached $1.7 billion, according to Juniper; 45% of that revenue came from Western Europe, where mobile porn is more widely offered by carriers. "There's less of a drive to regulate the industry in Europe," says mobile-industry consultant Chetan Sharma, who adds that U.S. and Canadian carriers have largely avoided carrying porn applications for fear of a public backlash. Before the new iPhone was announced, Juniper projected that revenue from mobile adult content would rise to $4.6 billion by 2012. With millions of 3G iPhones in the market, Juniper's principal analyst Windsor Holden says, the number could grow far larger. "A huge portion of the $13 billion adult market has been reliant on physical distribution," says AVN Media Network's Cahen. "That business model is shifting to downloadable and streaming content."

This is a interesting observation. I have the new iPhone and yeah, maybe i've looked at some porn but I didn't do it out and about because I needed some quick fix "two times as fast" or anything like that. Truth of the matter is if someone has something that can download a pictures from the interwebs, and they want to find out how fast its going to take, its going to be tested on porn, hands down (or somewhere else for that matter).
