Video iPods, cell phones are new platforms for adult industry
The experts are saying that portable porn could be a $200 million a year industry in the United States by 2009. I’ll step out on a limb here and say that I believe that number is a tad low. I’ve seen random porn at Quakecon, on airplanes, and now i’m going to see it in the cab lines!
Pornography is spreading from the computer desktop to the small screen, to pocket-sized devices such as cell phones, digital music players and portable game players. The phenomenon is being pushed not only by alternative-culture sites such as SuicideGirls but also by old-school skin traders such as Playboy and Penthouse, which this month announced plans to offer movies for viewing on portable devices. Though still in its infancy in the United States, the portable porn market could grow to nearly $200 million a year here by 2009, according to Boston-based research firm Yankee Group.
