Apple's video iPod may herald a new generation of portable porn. Fears that video iPod owners might take the devices with them to work in an effort to
watch adult content while working, and that children may quickly download pornography onto the device before slipping out of the house to watch it elsewhere has created something of a stir. One columnist said that iPod porn must be dealt with in the home and at the office, citing the difficulty parents already have monitoring the internet viewing habits of their children, according to a report from
ZDNet. Eric J. Sinrod, a partner in the San Francisco office of Duane Morris, said "as video makes its way onto iPods, parents can and should let their children know that they periodically will check their kids' iPods to see what video content has been downloaded. They also should check on filters that are being developed to prevent adult content from being downloaded onto iPods."
When addressing iPod porn in the workplace, Sinrod said "employers obviously should ban employees from viewing such content in the workplace. If that does not get the job done, employers should consider banning iPod video use in the workplace."

As Runco said, it doesn't make any sense. Secondly, why is it that the video iPod going to spur such an explosion in porn? The PSP came out months earlier with a more suitable screen size for porn viewing.
It's almost as if the news reports want to say that the spread of porn will lead to the decline of U.S. and Western civilization in general. lol.
I don't know about everybody else, but I rarely find time at work and after work to even use my PSP. I'm lucky if I have time to sit down and play with a regular ps2 unit regularly (I can but this usually means I'm foregoing some other responsibility). So I find it hard to believe that people are going to religiously spend alot of time transferring porn for the sole purpose of wacking off remotely somewhere in a public restroom.
Must be a slow down at the news office.
