The iTunes store is not the only iPhone/iPod Touch application delivery vehicle. Any "adult content provider" is more than welcome to host a media-wrapping application, that a user could download from their website, drag onto iTunes, and then sync up to their iPhone.
Apple never said that the only way to get applications onto an iPhone was through their App Store. They only said that the App Store was the only way to get fairplay-drm-wrapped applications onto a user's iPhone. And to meet App Store (not iPhone) requirements, you can't sell porn, or write an application which loads external frameworks whose sole purpose is delivering porn. You're more than welcome to do this, if you host the app yourself.

Yes, I've learned about that workaround, but that still begs the question of conspicuousness. Who wants to display a porn application on their device? The sensible route would still be the Web browser itself.

I wouldn't think most people would care all that much about having a porn app on their device. Call it something innocuous and don't put it on the iPhone your employer pays for ... other than that, who cares if someone has porn/porn app on their device?

Re your "innocuous" comment: Perhaps. And you're right, a personal device is a personal device.
By the way, I've read your Sex Drive column at Wired occasionally. You add an interesting dimension to the site for sure.

Sites like http://grls.gs (semi-NSFW) have been around for a while. Every medium available has some hot chicks on it. That's technology :)
This is a video 3G calling application. It works with 3G video calling on the iPhone. You don't need the app store, you dont need iphone billing, nothing needs to be installed. You dont need flash or a browser, it works with 3G iphones straight out of the box.
All you do is make a video call to the short 3G number 69694 and you get live girls, instantly and without effort. Users just have to type in 69694 an d choose it as a video call.
Pornography is always ahead of the curve, works on every 3G phone too and on all operators.

NSFW depends on where you work. Also deployed is a 17,000 video library. NSFW but won't post the link here in anycase. 3G will just let the users download it faster and buy more clips too.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but your article sounds kinda supportive of the fact that porn might help save web based apps.

It's more a question of what porn's future is on the iPhone - since "adult entertainment" companies consider the device (and it's non-phone sibling) pretty much perfect for what they want to deliver.

Don't forget the new Blackberry and Palm multimedia devices, not to mention the Android phones coming out this year. The iPhone isn't the only game in town. http://www.pocketerotica.net

Over the weekend our company launched an iphone version of our adult streaming website at http://m.wantedlist.com/. It's not an actual Apple App since Apple won't allow for adult products, but in the context of discussion its site/ app specifically designed for the iPhone.
So far the responses have been great. People are really embracing the use of this site especially with all the new 3G phones. If you were an old iPhone, wherever you had a wifi connection, you probably were using your laptop or home computer. However, now being on the 3G network people can stream adult movies with a lot more ease.
In terms of how this will effect the existing marketplace, mobile has to be a big money generator for adult companies. As Huffington Report posted and as many adult companies including ours will attest, this has got to be the slowest time for the adult industry due to increased competition from free adult sites. Adult companies need to embrace and mobile (as well as other new platforms) as a means to make up for lost revenue.

Streaming iPhone Porn is alive and well. I operate one of the most popular streaming iPhone porn portals at http://xratedmob.com - I earn a small commission for each iPhone user I refer to various iPhone porn webapps. Since January 1st 2009 I've earned in excess of $14,000 dollars referring people to iPhone porn providers such as brazzersmobile.net
Understand that all I do is send iPhone users, looking for streaming iPhone porn, to the people that produce and supply the iPhone porn. I'm essentially nothing more than an affiliate. If I can pull in over $14k in commissions, anyones guess as to how much the provider is generating is as good as mine. If I were pushed to give an estimate, I say they were earning in excess of $100,000 in revenue from iPhone porn.
Since this article was originally written way back in mid July 2008, it might as well have been written in 1990. mashable should be forgiven for not for underestimating the porn industries ability to cash in on new mobile porn devices.

I don't know that people want Mobile Porn as an app. Most phones are provided by peoples company's - do you want that type of evidence? There are some decent mobile porn sites out there today for iphone, like http://www.room66.com, not sure what more you need?
