Is iPhone porn the next big thing?

While the Pocket Picks team is gearing up for next month’s Mobile World Congress, a similarly-titled show is happening this week in the US focusing on one particular niche of the mobile world. The niche that involves people putting things into each others’ niches… Yep, I’m talking pr0n, with the show in question being the Mobile Adult Content Congress.

What’s more, it seems Apple’s iPhone is set to be at the forefront of mobile erotica. Adult entertainment lawyer Gregory Piccionelli says that the iPhone is perfect for pornography due to its large screen and proper web browser. “It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment,” he says, predicting that soon, consumers will be offered free adult content as a carrot to get them to sign up to paid services like live video or ‘adult dates’.

Will the iPhone be a pornhunter’s paradise? There are already some sites for it from the likes of Playboy, Digital Playground and the Suicide Girls. Normally when writing about iPhone-specific mobile content, I’d speculate on how its touchscreen interface could be used in the future, but in this case… Maybe that’s best left.
