The Apple iPhone has been out for over a year now, with the original launching to much critical, and fanboy, acclaim last June. And now there is a new version available.
The new iPhone 3G, otherwise known as the iPhone 2, was released worldwide on Friday July 11th, and immediately sold out in Apple stores, and mobile phone stores, in every country.
iPhone App Store
To coincide with the new updated iPhone, which includes GPS and other features, there is a new iPhone App Store from Apple, which is designed to become a kind of iTunes for the smart phone market leader.
While there have been numerous reports of activation problems, and App store failures so far, once it all gets sorted out, which shouldn’t take too long after the initial flurry of activity dies down, people will explore the App Store at their leisure.
While most of the content available through it will be clean and relatively conservative, some won’t. TG Daily are reporting that the adult film industry is also getting in on the act, with Digital Playground being the first major studio to deliver porn direct to your iPhone.
Porn Direct To Your iPhone
Digital Playground, regarded as the market leader in mobile video content of a more adult nature, claims to be the first media company “to successfully optimize its website” to be compatible with the iPhone.
As would be expected, the service is not free. It costs iPhone users a $19.99 monthly fee to sign up, while PC owners are charged $29.99, meaning you’re already up on the deal. Although with the extortionate price Apple charges for the iPhone, it’s still an expensive venture.
The new site went live on the same day as the 3G iPhone was released, with content on the site available in full-frame view, with scrolling and zooming options. Which will be good for all you perverts out there.
Instant Video Streaming
Joone, founder of Digital Playground said:
“One of the great parts about how the iPhone directly accesses our webpage is that all of our content is available to members. We are not bound by the rules or stipulations of a network operator.”
“Now the new version of the iPhone will allow for instant streaming, so you can immediately watch our films wherever and whenever you want.”
While this may not seem important to many of you, what this does prove is how money can promote technology being used in new ways. Unlike non-porn film-makers, the adult film industry is often the first to grasp new mediums, and the iPhone is no exception.
