    Porn to rescue the video iPod

    POST A COMMENT

    the-hot-new-ipod.jpgSteve Jobs take some notes on history: Playboy Enterprises Inc. and Penthouse Media Group Inc., are considering adult movies for portable video players such as Apple Computer Inc.'s new iPod (sounds like a match made in heaven).

    While Apple sold 1 million music videos and television shows for its new video iPod, many media outlets have a "wait and see" attitude to file sharing. So, adding adult content is a natural extension for mobile video players.

    "When you look at what has driven the emerging technology for media distribution over the last 50 years, it's music and adult content," said David Bank, an analyst for RBC Capital Markets in New York. "It seems like a natural fit."

    Ultimately, it will be content (adult or otherwise) that decides the fate of the video iPod -- and sexy babes might just be that "sweet spot" to get some extra players out there.
