Whilst Steve Jobs and Apple are looking to have an apps market free from porn (and quite understandable), it looks like some companies have identified there is an adult niche when it comes to the ipad. YourPorn and launched a free ipad optimised site with video content. Given that it’s delivered over the web, there’s not a lot Mr Jobs can do about it.
As with other technologies could it be that porn will drive sales of the ipad. It has a lot going for it. Being small and highly portable the ipad can easily be used in privacy, but at the same time it offers a high resolution screen for the best user experience. I’m sure there’s a joke to be made about it coming with a wipe clean screen.
So, like it or not, ‘adult content’ is often the driver of new technology adoption, and it may well take the same role with the ipad.

One thing I noticed about iPorn is that it is neat to be able to pinch/zoom the video. It is a lot like you are either “there” or otherwise able to direct the filming. I agree that this is going to sell a lot of iPads. Plus, there is the huge benefit of not worrying about downloading spyware or otherwise messing up your computer since the device is a closed system.
