LOS ANGELES—The legend goes that the American Porn Industry made VHS and killed Betamax. Adult films helped the proliferation of the DVD, and some even believe that they were instrumental in the final victory of BluRay over HD DVD. In the battle of the handheld devices, between the iPhone and all of the other webkit-enabled smart phones, the Android platform just got a major porn player in its corner.
Pink Visual, the adult studio behind mobile porn sites like iPinkVisual.com, iPornoPass.com, FapMapper.com and iMaleSpectrumPass.com, has announced a version of their flagship site entirely focused on bringing mobile porn to phones running the Android OS: dPinkVisual.com.
“We’ve been watching the Android-based phones since they first hit the market,” said Liam Colins, Director of Special Projects for Pink Visual. “We think they are great devices, and truthfully all of our ‘iPhone’ oriented sites have always worked well on them. The idea behind dPinkVisual.com was to give Android users the kind of respect and attention we have always given to the iPhone, by having a site branded for their devices. Releasing a free mobile porn site for the Android is essentially a vote of confidence in the platform.”
With the media throwing around the term “iPhone Killer” every time a new smart phone or webkit-enabled mobile device hits the market, you’d wonder if any one device has the features, functionality and following to steal part of the expanding smart phone market from Apple’s revolutionary handheld. More and more it seems that strong competition will gradually swell like a wave rather then a flash.
“Android’s strength is in the number of devices that are using the OS. The Motorola Droid, the Samsung Moment, the LG Eve, the new Google Nexus, and literally dozens of others all use this very powerful operating system that offers a great web viewing experience.” Colins continued “All these devices mean that more and more users are gravitating toward Android-based devices and if our iPhone experience shows us anything, they will be looking for mobile porn.”
Another checkmark in the Android OS column from a porn distributor’s perspective, Colins noted, is that the Android’s app market is far more open, and developers of sexually explicit apps will not find themselves “cut off at the knees” by the content policies of Android app stores in the way that they’ve been stymied by the Apple App Store.
“I think adult developers and a great many iPhone users would like to see Apple change its policies with respect to adult content in iPhone apps,” Colins said. “Until and unless that time comes, Apple is going to be ceding a potentially lucrative market to its competition.”
