As someone who has to make occasional trips to the heartland of america where cell-phone or internet access is anything but accessible - such portable porn is a beautiful thing.

And with a $20 cable it's easy to hook up the video to play on a full screen tv...

it would have been news on the other hand if Disney downloads would have topped porn

Actually, it would have been news if Disney had been producing the pr0n!

"I don't get the appeal of watching porn, or much of anything, on a tiny screen that is designed to be operated somewhere other than the privacy of one's home."

OK, where do you prefer to watch porn?

I am just wondering what the news is? as you point out correctly pretty much any medium (and it doesn't start with the VCR, but pretty much print) has had porn as one of it earliest uses and technology drivers. Does this mean we should condemn the medium? or the message? Even if the linked story or this blog entry wouldn't have been written this news would have been assumed, it would have been news on the other hand if Disney downloads would have topped porn ...

I think its fair to point out that the adult industry has helped advance technology in a variety of ways. legion's quote sums it up.

Anyways, free ViPod porn is a great idea for pay sites. The idea is that the free content will drive people to the pay site for more.

As for parents & their children... if your little boy or girl is seeking this stuff out, maybe they aren't as innocent as you'd like to believe.

Well, if porn is the number one thing being downloaded to iPods, one can assume that at least SOME parents are aware of it. (:

I heard something on a tech review program on the G4 channel awhile ago that seems particularly relevant here... I'm paraphrasing a little, but:

If it's not a technology porn is trying to break into, it's not a technology with a future.

True wisdom, that.

It's an issue of value. THose downloads cost money. The people downloading are looking for the best entertainment value.
Or, put another way, it's an issue of 'bang for the buck'.

(Sorry.)
