Web browsing and movies work really well on the iPhone. so this is something that I felt ever since I played around with an iPhone.

The iPhone 3G may be a great aid to the pornography industry, writes Time. The current 2.5G unit is already said to popular with porn producers, due to its use of a desktop-like web browser, and better handling of video than most cellphones.

One million 3G iPhones sold the first day (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/07/14/apple_sells_1_million_iphone_3gs_in_first_weekend.html).

I upgraded my old iPhone to the new software and all I can say is wow.

Too bad the cell carriers here in the great white north are trying to gouge so badly on the data plans, and with 3 year contracts.

Remote (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284417350&mt=8) is my most used so far. It lets you control iTunes and AppleTV from your iPhone and is free.

I thinking that a bunch of iPhone users are going to be looking for ready to go porn for their phones.
