IPod porn??? MSM's latest non-story!

[Rick Myers]

I hate to break the news to MSNBC, CNN and the rest, but you've been able to watch 'porn' (or anthing else) on Palms and other handhelds for YEARS!!! Anyone with the most basic understanding of file transfer could load 'porn' on most mobile systems. I guess the story is, Apple makes it possible for EVERY IDIOT to do it!!! :grr:

It's all about ratings and nothing to do with reality.

8. Of course porn has always been handheld...

... and that's got nothing to do with electronics... hehe

Seriously though, of course this is news. Sure porn and other video content has been available for PDAs and whatnot, just as there were portable mp3 players before the iPod. However, just as the iPod has made it extremely easy (as well as extremely popular) to access portable music as well as podcasts, it will do the same for porn. That is news.

I have a Sony Clie as well as an iPaq and sure I've always been able to put video content on them, but not only was it always a huge hassle to do so, there was never much content easily accessible. With the advent of the the iPod (the best selling mp3 player on the planet), then podcasting and now video, handheld porn will take off like never before.

Have you seen the quality of the video on those things? It's stunning. Sure, it's small, but small size hasn't stopped people from subscribing to internet porn which typically is displayed in a very small window on a computer screen.

9. Very good point!

The newest iPod is an amazing thing! I think you might have a new meme, 'handheld porn!'

[parasim]

10. Well, apparently it's not too new...

... since a google on "handheld porn" scores over a million hits!

It's certain to be a huge market, I'm sure. Look, for my generation it was the bra section in the Sears Catalog, for my kids, it was Victoria's Secret and now the little ol' iPod will be making more and more appearances in the bathroom late at night...

11. Now that the latest blonde chick is found...

of course it's a moral indignation story that gives freepers 'trouser tent'.
