Sources note that 'adult dates' are also on their way

Good golly, no way no how! Ya' think? Porn on the iPhone? Well, of course there's going to be porn and sex and all kinds of sexy stuff available on it (such as porn) since the handheld allows for so much to run on its big screen, not to mention it uses a heck of a wireless Internet connection, too. The Mobile Adult Content Congress (in Miami Beach) is debating the issue as we speak.

So what's to stop providers in doing what they do best - provide, and in this case, provide porn? Tons of porn for the geek who has a clever phone. Porn on the iPhone. It rhymes so well, it's good for a song. Actually you don't even need to be a geek to watch porn on your iPhone. Everyone has a peek every once in a while, they just don't admit it. That's why the web is full of it and that's why it's going to fill up the iPhone's screen pretty soon.

According to zdnet.com, this is what Gregory Piccionelli (a lawyer specializing in adult entertainment at law firm Piccionelli & Sarno) had to say about the matter: "It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment."

Heh! There. What did I tell you. The man says "impossible." Did we mention he's a lawyer? They know their stuff, and if Piccionelli & Sarno's man says there will be porn on iPhone, it's likely that there will be such content available on your Apple handheld.

Reuters' Sinead Carew also reveals that Piccionelli's forecasts concern the offering of free porn to U.S. consumers on their mobile phones, just like adult dating services, or live video. Carew defines adult dates as "prearranged sex with strangers."

Reportedly, Piccionelli also said that Apple's iPhone is ideal for watching porn. Why? Because of the nifty visuals it's capable of reproducing, not to mention its Web browser "that mimics computer browsers," according to zdnet.com, while "most phones have stripped-down browsers."

I guess we don't even need to ask whether anyone thinks porn is on its way to the iPhone or not. A more appropriate question, however, would be: do you want porn on your iPhone?
