Well done Steve. We forum goers thank you. You just forced your legions to badmouth mobile porn. :lol
Imagine how ridiculous they will sound. Delight.

You know those things have browsers, right? Not any different than Apple including Safari, which makes Jobs' little moral high-ground/competitor attack look more idiotic.

there's times i've been staying somewhere and would've like to have jerked off in the bathroom
Apple just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about porn culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in real life where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in porn, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the porn-using public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase iphones or ipads, nor will they purchase any of Apple's new products. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Apple has alienated an entire market with this move.
Apple, publicly apologize and allow porn on the iphone or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Man, if I was in charge of marketing, I would really want to put this in an ad. They aren't, but you know they really really want to.

I love you.Blair said:
This is such a disingenuous statement. All the porn streaming sites have mobile sites, don't they? Unless he's talking about porn apps, or something. It seems like the rhetoric that the iPhone is "porn free" is really just a nice little marketing slogan that doesn't mean anything.
