Check out the great interface that the mikandi people have come up with so that Android users can access adult apps. Hmmm… wonder if Apple could learn a lesson here.

Of course the IPV team is on it, you can see our app about 1 minute in. Sadly this is for Android users only at this point, but maybe someday Apple will treat iphone owners like adults too.

Congrats Mikandi!

By the time Apple’s latest hardware hit shelves in the U.S., several enterprising adult companies had already launched their first iPad-focused sites, banking on the buzz around the “magical, revolutionary” tablet to drive sales to their fledging properties.

While many Apple critics have derided the device as merely an overhyped and oversized iPod Touch, far more important from a business and development perspective is the consumer response, which has produced sales that greatly outpaced those of the iPhone in its first few weeks of existence. According to Apple, the iPad sold one million units in just 28 days, better than twice as fast as the iPhone, which took 73 days to reach the one million sales mark.

The list of ‘early adopter’ iPad sites below is far from comprehensive, supplying but a small sample of the iPad-optimized properties that have sprung up in the weeks since the device first arrived in stores. The point is to take note that companies both big and small, sites both established and just emerging, are attempting to leverage the popularity of the iPad to spur sales and expose their brands to a growing consumer base, and to highlight what these companies have done (or, in some cases, have not done) to optimize their sites for viewing on this hot-selling new piece of hardware.

DavidNudesiPad.com: One of the most recent launches on this list, DavidNudesiPad.com is a simple but well-crafted site that offers easy navigation, and is well-formatted for display on the tablet. The videos are encoded in h.264 format, and play within the page rather than opening in a separate player. All in all, the iPad version of the site does a great job of showcasing the photographer’s work in a clean, classy package that is well constructed for iPad-based viewing.

DigitalPlayground.com: On the iPad, DigitalPlayground.com looks and functions very much as the site does on a desktop or laptop, which is a testament to forward thinking, and a good example of how to fashion across-platform compatible site. The videos are embedded on the page, the image quality crisp, and the playback is smooth and reliable. While the display is not customized for the iPad, per se, the site’s top-down navigation is certainly iPad-friendly, yielding a “natural” feel on the tablet when perusing the site. It goes without saying that the content itself is top-notch… this IS Digital Playground we’re talking about, after all.

BDSMPad.com: Launched before the iPad was available in U.S. stores, the site’s optimization doesn’t run particularly deep, unfortunately. BDSMPad’s design is very wordpress-template-like, and once you enter the members’ area any sense of the site being optimized for display on the iPad is gone. The videos open within the Safari media player (as the videos for many sites do when viewed on an iPhone), not embedded into the page as with DavidNudesiPad.com. On the plus side, the videos play very nicely, and the site is currently faced with very little competition in the content categories it carries, meaning that despite its optimization shortcomings, it remains the likely site of choice for iPadbased BDSM fans at the moment.

BangYouLater.com: While the company made the rather dubious press release claim that bangyoulater.com was “the first iPad compatible adult site” (in a release dated April 14), at the time I was writing this article I was unable to get the site to resolve on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. Judging by the way the site displays in standard browser however, it should look and function just fine on an iPad, once the problem causing it to fail to resolve on Apple’s various ‘iProducts’ has been corrected.

PinkVisualPad.com: Launched to the public the day before the iPad became available within the U.S., PinkVisualPad.com was crafted to take advantage of the iPad’s improved CSS support (meaning improved in comparison to the iPhone), using CSS for visual effects like gradients, rounded corners and drop shadows, rather than being a graphicintensive site. The site employs HTML5 to display video inside the browser, rather than in the iPad’s media player, and is generally designed to look and feel like it blends with the iPad GUI, and to feel more like a native iPad app.

RocketTube.com: Although the iPad version of RocketTube.com does not appear to have been reformatted for the tablet from the version served to standard desktop browsers, the site does scale well, and is easy to navigate on an iPad. The videos play within the browser, rather than opening in the iPad’s media player, further simplifying navigation for iPad users.

XBIZ.com: While technically not a ‘porn site,’ XBIZ.com is certainly about porn, and represents one of the better examples among early adopter porn sites in terms of being crafted in ways that take advantage of the iPad’s abilities and features. A very nicely formatted web app, the iPad version of XBIZ uses a framework that allows the site to operate in a way that is very close to a native, on-deck iPad app, and which shares some features common to iPhone apps as well, like the bottom menu overlay, and the “snap-back” function when the user scrolls beyond the bottom or top of the page.

If the history of the adult Internet is any indication, there’s a great deal of evolution in store for the iPad porn market on the development side. As time goes by, and the early adopters make adjustments to their iPad-optimized properties, improvements and refinements are bound to be made — and just as assuredly, styles and structures will emerge that will be rapidly copied across the breadth of the iPad porn space. What the early adopters have that will be hard to reproduce, however, is the benefit of being first to market, and first to catch the eye of consumers who have a shiny new device that appears almost made for porn viewing, regardless of Steve Jobs’ protestations to the contrary.

When it was unveiled by Apple earlier this month, one of the iPhone 4’s much-touted features was having all its antennas built directly into the outer frame of the device, but now this feature is receiving a large, swollen thumbs down from some iPhone users, who wonder if interfering with porn viewing was the actual intent behind the new antenna design.

“Apple did their homework on this one,” said Dave Long, a disgruntled 37 year-old mobile porn user. “Over 85% of the world is right handed and watches mobile porn with their phone in their left hand. Now when my mom is out at the grocery store and I get a hankering to check out a little wireless erotica, I have to set the phone on a surface or switch hands and go all ‘stranger’ on myself. I think maybe Steve Jobs is serious about wanting the iPhone to be ‘porn-free,’ after all.”

Long isn’t alone in having concerns on this apparent adult video lock on the new hardware; Kim Kysar, Brand and Product Manager for leading mobile porn studio Pink Visual said the company is anticipating an irate response from its customers.

“It’s really a shame, because our sites and content look absolutely fantastic on the new retina display,” Kysar said. “On a positive note, our left handed members couldn’t be happier with the new iPhone as porn consumption tool.”

For consumers like Long, however, knowing that left handed users aren’t plagued with the issue is no silver lining.

“Ambidextrous masturbation is a hassle,” Long said. ”Right handed people didn’t buy these new phones to work an untapped portion of our brain; we bought them to get our rocks off on the go, with near full bars, no matter how we hold the device.”

Kysar said that Pink Visual is working on a new, “left hand optimized” version of the company’s flagship mobile porn site, iPinkVisualPass.com, and will soon publish tips on how to reposition the device in your left hand so as to avoid triggering the signal interference.

“We’re all about providing solutions to our customers’ problems,” Kysar said. “Whether this was an intentional measure crafted to make mobile porn harder to watch on the device, or merely an unintended consequence of the new design, it’s an obstacle to our customers, and Pink Visual’s role has always been to help our members over-come.”

Pink Visual: iPad Porn Flourishing, Despite Apple’s Content Policies

Mobile Porn Provider Says iPad Users Are ‘More Engaged,’ More Likely to Purchase Than Average Site Visitor

VAN NUYS, CA–(Marketwire – June 22, 2010) – While there isn’t any pornography to be had in the official App Store for iPad users, leading mobile porn provider Pink Visual (pinkvisual.com) released statistics today that reveal early adopters of the tablet to be eager consumers of online erotica.

“We knew the iPad would be a big hit with consumers, and that’s why we had a site optimized and waiting for iPad porn-seeking customers from Day 1,” said Kim Kysar, Brand and Product Manager for Pink Visual. “That said, even we have been surprised by how PinkVisualPad.com (pinkvisualpad.com) has taken off.”

Kysar said that in tracking the user behavior on the iPad-optimized site, several metrics caught the company’s eye and reinforced the studio’s confidence that optimizing content for the popular tablet was a smart move.

“Compared to our standard website users, what we’ve found is that iPad users spend approximately twice as long on the site per visit that our desktop-based audience does, and are quite a bit more likely to sign up for a subscription in their initial visit to the site,” Kysar said. “The iPad user is proving to be more engaged in the experience than our desktop consumers by basically all measurable criteria. From the number of pages they visit per session, to the subscription renewal rate, we’re seeing a clear indication that early adopters of the iPad love using their tablets for viewing porn.”

Despite Apple’s ban on X-rated apps and Steve Jobs’ promise to provide “freedom from porn,” a group of San Francisco street artists have put porn on the iPad.

Or, to be more precise, on ads for the iPad.

As Apple and Apple fanboys descend on San Francisco for the Worldwide Developers Conference, the group Freedom From Porn
has pasted alternate screenshots over the iPad billboards blanketing SF.

For example, Freedom From Porn has replaced the generic, PG Facebook page shown on the iPad ad with a racy version of Steve Jobs’ Facebook profile.

Another redone billboard shows an email to Steve Jobs from his “personal assistant” that reads, “I booked the appointment with the general contractor to see if you can in fact attach a sex swing in your basement. I have also renewed your subscriptions to Penthouse, Hustler, and BBW Honeys.”

See photos of the altered iPad ads on the Freedom From Porn website–which encourages people who think “porn is great” to “send your favorite vids” to Steve Jobs–and in the video below.

iPad Porn

Apple can posture and ban sexy iPhone apps and Suicide Girls all it wants. Come March, porn will help the iPad rock. Here’s why.

Like it or love it, there’s no denying the power of Internet porn. If you’re a worker in the TV, video, or computer industry, it’s one of the key drivers behind some of the tech you use on a daily basis. Remember the famous tape format battle between VHS and Betamax (the technically superior system)? VHS’s convenience for porn producers’ partly resulted in it becoming the dominant video system. Widespread adoption by the porn industry also helped Blu-ray’s success over HD-DVD.

Its laser-like focus on cash has given porn an edge in technology development history. And it’s a business that’s always looking for new and novel ways to deliver its product through systems that appeal to its consumers–the one who gets there quickest gets the biggest share of the booty. Pornographic Web sites test drove online payment systems as ways to make quick bucks while everyone else bit their nails and waited years for PayPal. Broadband crushed slow dial-up in part due to users’ hunger for speedy, sexy data…porn. Going back further, porn was thriving at the dawn of cable TV and photography itself. One of the first popular uses of the printing press was to publish pornographic writing and imagery.

Today it’s a multi-billion dollar industry powered by the human psyche and high technology. It’s hard to put a finger on it precisely, but the U.S. porn industry alone is probably worth a long way north of $10 billion per year. Remember the famous adage: “If all the porn was clensed from the Internet, then there’s just be a single Web site in the world. It would say–’bring back all the porn!’” Porn has always been with us, and probably always will in one form or another.

Even on Apple’s iPad.

To much skin for Cupertino

The brief and to the point form email went out the evening of the 18th, after most US businesses had closed, and stated simply that:

The App Store continues to evolve, and as such, we are constantly refining
our guidelines. Your application, INSERT NAME HERE, contains content that we had
originally believed to be suitable for distribution. However, we have recently received
numerous complaints from our customers about this type of content, and have changed
our guidelines appropriately.

We have decided to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store, which
includes your application.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter. If you believe you can make the
necessary changes so that INSERT NAME HERE complies with our recent changes, we
encourage you to do so and resubmit for review.

Sincerely,
iPhone App Review

Most of the victims will remain silent. SuicideGirls.com, Sunny Leone, Aria Giovanni, Cutest Girls, Cyberage.com… all successful apps that survived the approval process only to be removed arbitrarily. These are small brands, unimportant in the grand scheme of things. There are no strategic partnerships to be had, no branding opportunities, no software, movie or music rights for Apple to use at a later point.

Not everyone is upset though, Playboy still has their application in the store, as does Sports Illustrated. Big names, big brands and suddenly Apple’s scruples don’t seem to get in the way. Scruples, that are noticeably out of place from a company that sells R rated movies, songs with explicit lyrics and violent and sexual video games.

This is OK, because its got bunny ears

Apple has always been outstanding at brand control. Their products are uniform, their name pristine and clear in the consumers mind. This has been accomplished by strict quality control, consistent messages and careful marketing, but it is our belief that what was good business practice has become a Religion. Don’t get us wrong, we love our iphones and ipods, but not so much that we willing to let Steve Jobs and the turtlenecked clones at Cupertino tell us what we can and can’t do with our own mobiles. Mobile porn not only exists, its prolific and desired and there is nothing Apple can do to stop people from watching on their precious devices.

So what happens now? Android is looking pretty good, as is blackberry, palm pre and any other mobile platform not protected by zealots and hypocrites.

Among the media outlets who took notice of Pink Visual’s mobile porn efforts were Gizmodo, PC Mag, the Las Vegas Weekly, the UK-based Independent, and APCMag.com, just to name a handful.

Get used to seeing our name in the mobile-related headlines; we’ve got some great new mobile products on the way, so our name is bound to pop up on the media radar frequently in the months ahead.

Three billion apps, ranging from fart noises to GPS-based routing applications and all points in between — all except the sexually explicit points, that is.

Apple has stuck to its “no porn” guns throughout, and it remains to be seen whether the more open approach being taken by Google and its Android OS (which has already seen the launch of a porn-specific Android app store) will enable them to horn in on the iPhone’s app market share.

What we here at Pink Visual still don’t quite understand about Apple’s policy is this: iPhone users by the bushel are utilizing the device to access mobile porn sites via the iPhone’s web browser (just ask our server logs!), so there’s clearly a high demand for mobile porn among Apple’s customers. Why not meet that demand via the app store, and make some money in the process?

Either way, we’ll continue to make great mobile porn for smart phone owners regardless of their brand of choice, and simply wait in quiet anticipation for a day when Apple sheds its inhibitions and gives its customers what they want: true, official iPhone apps loaded to the gills with hardcore porn.

So if you’re looking to stay with a blackberry phone, but want to upgrade and improve your blackberry porn viewing experience, we highly recommend the blackberry storm 2.

Enjoy!

Google’s Android 2.0 flagship phone the Motorola Droid is set for release this Friday on Verizon Wireless and from all reviews and reports this phone can keep up with the Apple iphone.

We at Pink Visual can’t wait to put it through the ringer and see how well it handles ipinkvisualpass.

In highlighting the iPhone’s limitations, Verizon reveals little about the Droid, other than the broad assurance that it will do what the iPhone does not. This “hype by implication” is an intriguing strategy, and it will be very interesting indeed to see if the Droid lives up to the expectations that Verizon is creating through its campaign.

For mobile porn producers like us at iPinkVisual, the good news is that regardless of whether Verizon succeeds in putting a dent in the iPhone’s reputation and market share, so long as consumers buy and use both devices to surf mobile porn sites, we benefit from the competition. Although the iPhone has been our focus since it first hit the market, our sites support Android-based phones, too, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on the development of new Android-based devices, anticipating that Android’s free, open-source nature will result in rapid development and adoption of the OS by multiple manufacturers.

So, will the Droid be an “iPhone killer?” Who knows — only time will tell. One thing you can count on, however, is that there will be a LOT of Star Wars references and bad “iWordplay” in the media coverage of this smart-phone-war in the making. No doubt, there will be pro-Apple bloggers proclaiming that “this isn’t the Droid you’re looking for,” and iPhone haters making endless use of iDon’t, iCan’t and iWon’t in their headlines.

If fantasy/sci-fi movie references become commonplace in mobile marketing, one wonders how long it will be before we see the launch of a “Highlander” handset, with an iPhone-like exclusive service provider relationship, and the slogan “There Can be Only One… Network.”

According to JD Power Smartphone Satisfaction Ratings, Apple was ranked on top of all other smart phones, beating out the industry average.

So if you are watching Pink Visual porn on an iphone or itouch, you are not only getting the best porn available, but watching it on the most satisfying device.

Cheers to a great mobile porn experience.

According to the official Google blog:

“For example, suppose you are shopping at a store for a camera, and you would like to see what users have been saying about a specific model within the past week. You can do this simply by searching for the name of the product. Then, on the search results page, use “Options” to filter by “Forums” and refine further by choosing “Past week”"

Best of all and what i know you have all been waiting for…drum roll please…  it works when searching for porn.

Adobe announced this morning that they will be releasing their upcoming version of flash, 10.1 for mobile platforms such as the Android, Blackberry, Palm’s OS, and the Symbian.

Unfortunately, at least for now, Apple has chosen to pass on Flash, citing its memory requirements.

Flash created many opportunities for regular browsing, so we are eager to see what it does for Mobile and more importantly the new ways we can use it to enhance your mobile porn experience with ipinkvisualpass.com

We are speaking, sarcastically of course, about their new Apple approved Applications for Iphone and Ipod Touch. Brace yourselves, because I’m sure these are the first of many popular pornstars to make their appearance as real applications in Apple’s sacred shopping center. I’m sure a Jenna, Sasha, and Jesse app are not too far behind.

The problem of course is that the apps feature PG rated content of the stars mostly clothed. Wow, that’s fun… if you’re 12 and this month’s Victoria’s Secret got swiped by the mailman.

Take our advice and keep your mobile phone tuned in right here to enjoy some actual real naked women in real hardcore mobile porn.

Rumor has it that the Blackberry Storm 2 will be arriving on Verizon either by the end of the month or the middle of next.  And the Samsung Omnia 2… well rumors are sometime between now and November.

This could mean that Verizon subscribers will finally be able to enjoy ipinkvisual porn on their phones with the same simplicity and clarity that iPhone users currenty experience.

Only time will tell, but if the rumored specs are any indication, these two phones could finally bring an equivalent iphone experience to the nations largest CDMA network.

Check out this quote from the Tampa Examiner:

You put up the latest advances in firewall protection and keystroke monitoring technology. You block MySpace, Facebook, and numerous other sites with “dubious/unsavory” ratings. You broadcast well drafted policies on the use of social media, the use of company computers for unauthorized or illegal purposes. You are feeling pretty good about your situation.
And then your cell phone rings.
“Someone just filed a complaint that they saw Bob from IT watching an adult film in his cubicle….on his iPhone”
What are you going to do now?
How likely is it that this will happen soon?
You are going to have to come up with plans to deal with it. Chances are high it is already taking place in some organizations. And it will only increase. HR professionals should start thinking about how to deal with the latest technological advances in workplace impropriety now.

Clearly, adults will do what they want, where they want. We should probably get over it.

According to a spokesperson for China’s Unicon, “Talks between us and Apple have been going on for some time”, but it would seem no agreement has been reached yet.

For additional information check out the main article on Techtree.com

The report notes that Apple is looking to adopt a 9.7-inch touchscreen for the new netbook, slightly smaller than the 10.1- or 10.2-inch screens typically used at the large end of the netbook range.
According to reliable information, Apple will not follow the current market trend (by producing netbooks with screens about 10.2 or 10.1 inches in diagonal length.) Instead, Apple will produce screens with about 9.7 inches in diagonal length. Touch screen will be installed. Wintek will be the main manufacturer of the touch screen.

Exact pricing remains unknown at this time, but the inclusion of a touchscreen and Apple’s history of refusing to compete at the lowest price points suggest that the netbook may be priced at around $800.
Because Apple will adopt touch screen technology on its netbooks, Apple will not target low-end consumers, avoiding direct competition with Acer, Asus, as well as their less-than-500-dollars netbooks. Apple’s netbook (or a “tablet” as many call it,) will probably be sold at around $800 USD each.

Apple has repeatedly stated that although it has been looking at the growing netbook market, it is not interested in releasing a low-end netbook product that produces an inferior user experience as current products do. Other sources have recently “confirmed” that an Apple netbook is in the works, but claim that it will not arrive until 2010.

VAN NUYS, Calif. – The ongoing bout between Apple Inc. and the adult industry continued to heat up today as Pink Visual (www.PinkVisual.com) announced the launch of iTouchHer (www.itouchher.com), a new adult web-app for the iPhone that offers a series of humorous, porn-related games.

“We wanted to create a web-app that would not only appeal to the typical adult consumer, but also to the gadget-hungry Gizmodo and Engadget crowd,” said Lea Busick, subscription site and affiliate program director for Pink Visual. “With that in mind, it didn’t take us long to decide to create a game application with a variety of sexy and funny games that iPhone users can get a kick out of playing and then share and compare their scores with others by posting the results to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.”

The launch line-up of games includes dubiously titled tongue-in-cheek entries such as “Roast Beef or Twat?” and “Tranny Hunter”, along with more traditional progressive photo set viewing, like “Lesbian Seduction” and “3 Way Touch.” Pink Visual said there will are many more games to come, as well.

“Not only will we add more games of our own devising, but we’re also going to be asking users to submit ideas for new games,” stated Q Boyer, marketing coordinator for Pink Visual. “We not only want consumers to enjoy our products, we want them to become part of the creative process, and that philosophy has contributed to the success of our other mobile sites, like iPinkVisual.com (www.ipinkvisual.com).”
Busick said that while the company “doesn’t want to create an antagonistic relationship with Apple” and understands that Apple wants to keep the App Store “family-friendly,” Pink Visual felt a need to find some way around the App Store rules to deliver its iPhone-using customers a compelling porn-related product.

“Even though we think their guidelines are a bit ill-conceived, web-apps are currently the only legitimate way to get around those guidelines,” Busick said. “I suppose we could have resorted to playing a ‘bait and switch’ game with Apple, which some other companies have done, but we feel that is a suspect business practice, and something we have no interest in doing. In the ongoing battle between Apple and porn, we at Pink Visual just want the consumer to be the winner.”
