Apple’s video-enabled iPod models, announced Wednesday, promise to be a gold mine for pornographers. While Apple announced a deal to sell episodes of popular series from ABC for $1.99 a piece, the video iPod’s represent a potential windfall for the adult film makers, adult film stars, and webcam girls, who already have large libraries of material to re-purpose onto the new medium.
While the video iPod may be a dream device for podcasters, if the history of the Internet is any guide, it’s pornographers who will be the first to really exploit the commercial possibilities of the new device.
And this is an area where the one-handed operation the “Click Wheel” enables is going to be a great marketing feature.
In the words of Richard Jeni, “It’s not porn it’s love stories with all those pesky words taken out.”
Let’s add the fact that the porn industry seems to lead the way when you have competing technologies. As examples:
BETA vs. VHS
DIVXX vs. DVD
If someone comes up with a competing technology, see where the porn industry goes and buy that stock.
Kevin hit the nail on the head with this one!
With that little bitty screen, you won’t even be able to do it until you need glasses.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was thinking this! And I agree with Dave, buy stock in the formats the porn industry chooses – just like I pointed out in my blog ( sextoysreviews.blogspot.com/2005/05/which-hi-def-dvd-format-will-you-get.html )

If you build it, they will porn
The APPLE has rotten core its got the worms of LARRY FLINT and HUGH HEFNER in the core
I don’t know why this new iPod is such a big deal. We’ve been able to whack off to our heart’s content with iRivers for ages. Get with the times, people.
A dream come true. 1000 cumshots in my pocket. What more can I ask for from apple?
iPorn: where do you want to come today?
