(CNN) — It was just days after the release of the iPad — Apple’s slate computer heralded as a tool for gaming, book and magazine reading and Web consumption — when the announcement arrived.

One of the world’s biggest porn companies claimed it had created a way to stream its videos onto the device, skipping the Apple store and its restrictions on salacious content.

The announcement illustrates a widely acknowledged but seldom-spoken truth of the technology world: Whenever there’s a new content platform, the adult-entertainment industry is one of the first to adopt it — if they didn’t help create it in the first place.

Apple will not be very happy about this. Software upgrade coming.

    SPAM leads the way..
    In reality, porn is less then 1% of the sites.
    What I see is at the end.
    APPLE will upgrade. They want the sole power over the i-product lines.
    Just as-
    Sony-ps3
    MS-xbox
    and so forth…

    Is that the poor man’s flashlight plug thingy that is flooding my inbox along with ads to become a court reporter or medical back office person? “fleshlight?”

  3. Andy says:

    There’s already an app for porn on the iPad, and Apple wrote it. It’s called “Safari” . . . there are tons of sites out there that format video so it can be played on iPhones or iPads.

  4. deowll says:

    #3 has it. You can of course use Opera to do the same thing so that’s two porn enabled aps.

  5. ECA says:

    Porn isnt increasing…ITS JUST THERE!!
    they just find another distribution method..
    Spam is worse. TONS worse.
    My ISP catches over 85% of mail as SPAM.

  6. Its human nature no doubt
    The two biggest uses of the high tech net – porn and gambling
    When the $ 100 a laptop project got underway it resulted in a rash of porn in rural areas where the netbooks were distributed

  7. Grandpa says:

    Why should Apple, or somebody Else’s church, determine what content I decide to watch. If it is unconstitutional to stop freedom of speech then they are violating the constitution in doing so.

    iPorn the “Killer Ap” for the iPad ??? Why cry about something that will sell more iPads ???

  13. yankinwaoz says:

    So the moved videos to HTML 5 instead of Flash player. Big whup.

  14. FRAGaLOT says:

    So… How exactly can Apple change anything? They can only control “apps” not web sites. If it’s porn on a website, then I will be able to see it on an iPad.

    Apple is not going to censor what I see on the web.. I’ll move to Australia for that “convenience.”

  15. qb says:

    There’s porn on the internet. Where was the memo?

    Maybe a ShamWow will help get all the Cheetos smudges off my girlfriends iPad before she gets home.
