Do you think Steve factored in this market when determining the potential for iPod Photo's success?

Wired article: Porn Going Mobile

Apple's new photo iPod -- which one Slashdot wag dubs the iPorn -- maxes out at 25,000 pictures or 15,000 songs. It's a triple-X theater in your pocket, even if it's only for slide shows.

Mobile porn might be popular with teenage boys, but lets face it, they'll take whatever they can get. I don't think it will ever be acceptable to whip out your wang and crack one off in public.

True, but a teenager can bring it in the bathroom.

Take a laptop into the bathroom to whack off with? Only if it's ScotchGarded.

I think if Steve was going for the iPorn market he would have admitted that there was video content available.

Sometimes there are good reasons for taking a laptop into the bathroom with you. What if you're charging it up on a plane? Or reading enews? The laptop is the new newspaper, after all.

In all honesty, this would be a MUCH cooler product if you could hook a USB camera right up to it to download the pictures in. As it stands now, having to buy a 3rd party piece of hardware to accomplish this is annoying and ups the cost quite a bit.

The thing is the iPod will probably eventually like with another PDA/Tablet/Thin Client device from Apple, or so goes my dream

I would not surprised if in the future we see iPod wireless or iPod Air.

I second that. Not to mention even if you use said third party hardware to do so, you still can view them on the iPod photo.

I'll assume you meant "can't" and if so, wow that's dumb.

Wow, this thread turned into a bathroom-laptop thread. Ewwww..... I hope someone washed his hands after using the bathroom.
