New iPhone: porn friendly?

I doubt that this is what Apple had in mind when it decided to release a 3G iPhone. But let's face it, smartphones are becoming miniature computers. And while many use computers for productive purposes—there are a lot of people out there who are closet pervs. Popular Web sites, in general, are beginning to provide mobile content. It is really not surprising that adult-themed sites are doing likewise.

Leading porn purveyors see the iPhone as a dream come true. Its relatively ample screen size, speedy Web access and ease of use are just part of it. The device's miniaturized version of Apple's Safari software simplifies mobile access and streamlines the process of tailoring dirty sites for optimal viewing on the go. "It's by far the porn-friendliest phone," says Devan Cypher, representative for San Francisco–based Sin City Entertainment. As evidence of the gadget's rocketing popularity in California's porn capital, the San Fernando Valley, numerous iPhone-specific porn sites have been launched in recent months. "There are a few hundred iPhone porn sites now in use," says Farley Cahen, vice president of business development for AVN Media Network, the adult industry's trade body. Many others are currently in the works targeting the iPhone 2.0, which goes on sale July 11.
