    i don't see why not, i mean they're gonna have age ratings and with parental controls it shouldn't be a problem. It may even make parents more likely to enable the parental controls on their children's iphones if they know there's Apps like these out there.

    In a strange way, this could actually increase the popularity of the iPhone.

    If it does happen, it is good that the iPhone is well established first, and that it didn't just become popular because of, well, porn.

    Tiny nekkid women, thumbs up. Tiny nekkid guys, not so much.

    Also, there should be a 'meh' option in the poll, I'm not against nuudiez on the iPhone but I wouldn't be subscribing to it either.

    I'm just thinking of the features of the iPhone - accelerometer, vibration and the pinch/squeeze user interface.

    Interesting possibilities....:eek:

    That's a good idea for an app right there, remember the "x-ray specs" they used to sell from the back of comics years ago, they were supposed to let you see through women's clothes, now we can have an app that lets you photograph someone but puts their head on a nekkid body - call it the iPhone X-Ray machine and you'll make a fortune! :)

    I've heard the 3.1 software update will enable "scratch 'n sniff" functionality.

    Mmmm. Fishy.

    jeez there's enough pron everywhere else. can we not keep our iPhones p u r e

    As a developer, I'm a bit biased, but I don't think it's such a good idea.

    The store is already full of junk apps. Something tells me porn apps will quickly become the new fart apps.

    It's not a bad thing, but it makes it harder to find the good, useful stuff.

    I'm not so sure. Just lob it all under, say, and "Adult" category and you are sorted.

    Agreed, that will probably happen, but I'm talking more about the main Top 25 charts. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
