Apple iPod
It's not just for music anymore. The new iPod is capable of downloading and storing up to 150 hours of video. Porn industry giants such as Hustler, Penthouse and Playboy are formatting content for this new hand-held device. One pornographic Web site reportedly sold one million downloads of nude models within a week.
Camera and video phones
They're no longer just for talking. These high-tech phones are able to take short video clips, or capture and store up to 3 megabytes of digital photos. New phones are also capable of wireless Internet access without filtering software. A disturbing new trend has also emerged as school-age children are using camera phones to take sexually-explicit photos of classmates and distribute them, opening themselves up for prosecution under federal child-pornography laws.
Sony PlayStation Portable
It's not just for games anymore. This device is Internet-ready and able to download photos and video without filtered access from any wireless "hotspot." Porn producers designed and released pornographic movies for it within weeks of its launch.
