Porn on your iPhone? “Adult dates?” They’re coming!

..As is, on the way.

They are talking about this issue at the Mobile Adult Content Congress, now being held in Miami Beach.

“It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment,” said Gregory Piccionelli, a lawyer specializing in adult entertainment at law firm Piccionelli & Sarno.

Filing from the event, Reuters’ reporter Sinead Carew notes that Piccionelli predicted that as some European cell subscribers are, already, U.S. consumers may soon be offered free porn on mobile phones alongside paid services like live video or “adult dates,” a term Sinead (whatever happened to Sinead O’Connor anyway/) defines as “prearranged sex with strangers.”

My, my. The things you learn about in this gig.

Specifically, Carew (whatever happened to Rod Carew, anyway?) notes that Piccionelli said the iPhone is ideal for viewing porn due to its graphics and Web browser that mimics computer browsers. Most phones have stripped-down browsers.

Of course for this to work, AT&T Mobility would have to be content neutral, with parental safeguards against kids sneaking off, grabbing their parent’s iPhone and then, well, you know.
