Playboy and Penthouse are preparing to join the trend

The iPod Video has already been associated with running porn while on the go and producers of adult movies didn't wait long to customize their movies to make them compatible with the iPod.

Actually we mentioned in previous articles that only a few days after the iPod Video took shape, porn sites were already offering video clips especially compressed to fit the tiny screen of the new Apple player. Mobile porn isn't all about the iPod considering there are so many players out there, but the iPod is without a doubt the star of the show.

The trend of watching mobile porn is more than obvious, so Penthouse and Playboy just couldn't miss this kind of action so they decided to get involved and come up with their own offer of adult shows.

Of course, organizations preoccupied with preventing children from viewing unsuitable material already stepped in and Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association suggested imposing a rating system for adult content. However, the organization warned that this will not prevent any user from downloading porn to a mobile device such as the iPod Video.

Mobile porn sounds like a foolproof business considering Apple Computer needed 20 days to reach 1 million downloads of video files from its online store while the Web site SuicideGirls, offering free videos of unclothed models, hit the mark in about a week.
