What you guys are missing here is that Mobile Porn is not like any other Mobile service/product such as ring tones, wallpapers, digital camera features, etc.

It's PORN after all. The following factors come into play:

1. Parents will demand providers to block such content on their kids' phones.

2. Even if they don't - teens are unlikely to waste their last dime on freaking limited pixels believed to be porn

^ these two also apply to some extent to PC-based porn anyway.

3. LOW LOW LOW quality. It just can't be that we've lowered our standards from REAL SEX to DVD-quality sex, to PC-based-DivX-coded sex, to 2" small figures having sex on a god damn cell phone.

4. Privacy of the end-user. Are we going to see lines to the restrooms with peope waiting to get off on a 120x120 thumbnail-sized pic of a Pamela Anderson-looking figure? If they will do it at home, geez, doesn't it make more sense to actually USE A FREAKING PC or put on a DVD?

5. The only viable use is in a gimmick-fashion - compare pics with college buddies, download 10-second clips and try to figure out what the hell happened there, etc.

6. Waste of money for the end-users. I think that even people who like it at first will realize that it's not worth their $$. But then again, they spend $1 a pop for ring tones, so go figure. LOL.

7. Charge-backs. I don't think people will be happy with lousy '96-style content. Time will tell.

I'm tired
