iPhone 3G Turns On Porn Industry
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 12:15 AM on June 24, 2008
According to Time, porn producers are excited about the new iPhone 3G because it will quickly put content right on the hand of the users, without having to go through the carrier, which already have control over the $1.7-billion mobile porn market. Not only that: the porn industry sees its large touch screen, web browser, and multimedia capabilities as the perfect platform to see naughty bits, calling it "the porn-friendliest phone" out there. The users—at least according to Google Trends—seem to agree with them.
According to the search company's statistics, there has been a sharp increase in "iPhone porn" searches over the last year, showing either that iPhone users are all a bunch of pervs, or that Jason and I spend way too much time surfing the web in the bathroom. Probably both.
Apple says that they won't allow any adult-oriented applications in the iPhone app store--so goodbye to your interactive anime porn games through iTunes, hello to Installer.app--but the 3G speeds and the Safari browser is open to any kind of content. The new version of Safari, however, will include parental contents so only daddy and mummy can surf the pink flesh wave. [TIME]

if they could make them all 3gp converted instead of this flash garbage, then we would be all set.
And by we I mean Wii.

Does the new iPhone 3G come with a cleaning cloth like the MBA? You gonna need one to get the sticky stuff off.

well no news here, in the days past business folks would go to the strip clubs who are registered under the name of " Tom's fish and chips" to use their corporete cards for lunches - iPhone is a dream come true on those long business trips :) ( and bathroom breaks , I can't for get those)

I used that already for the caption contest, so you can be proud of them for not plagiarizing, but not necessarily their good taste.
@Whisssper: "Shouldnt the porn industry be quite easily turned on?"
No, they're actually rather jaded.
@TM-Oliveira: "Together?"
Apparently.

I"m POSITIVE that Steve Jobs said NO porn on the iphone...... but websites don't have to ask for his permission to make iphone capable sites.
