The new Iphone 3.0 is on the verge of being a launching pad for mobile porn in the United States.  The Iphone will be soon known as Iporn with some of the biggest porn industries spending millions of dollars to take advantage of  new software. Playboy, Digital Playground, and Vivid are investing millions as we speak into the new safari interface of the 3.0 Iphone. According to UK Based Jupiter Research, mobile adult content will reach 3.3 Billion by 2011. North American mobile adult content is only worth 26 million to date. As you can see, American porn industries see a tremendous profit margin in their future. The problem is that these execs know that these new applications will reach underage teens. In this article we will examine the dangerous effect of these applications in the hands of unsupervised teenagers.

Many parents have purchased Iphones for their teens for Christmas, birthdays, or any other special occasion that would cause a parent to drop 220 dollars for a gift. This must have gadget is currently a haven for porn applications. Porn heavy hitter Brazzer Mobile at the end of 2008 released an Iphone application for their site. For only a dollar you can download porn from their site to your handheld Iphone. PornHub, the porn version of Youtube, has developed a I phone application that will allow one to download at least 10,000 porn videos.

One may wonder why the porn industry is targeting the Iphone but is actually very simple. The Iphone has the best browsing interface ever created by a computer company. The Iphone browser is the equivalent to having a small HD TV in your hand. In addition to the browser, the new 3 G network allows for faster downloading and navigation. Instead of teens downloading still nude shots, they can now watch live porn videos at high speed. There is even talk in the blogosphere to take advantage of the touch features of the Iphone. There is a scenario where through the touch screen a user can remove one’s clothes and listen to their reaction through the headphones. Numerous teenagers are taking advantage of this technology by making homemade CD for distribution at schools. Teens are either making their own porn tapes or recording porn of various sites and distributing them to class mates.

In order to take hold of this situation, here are several helpful interventions.

1. Cell Phone Carrier- Contact your local cell phone carrier and demand filtering options for your teen’s phone. Most carriers can walk you through the phone parental safeguards to prevent your teen from accessing more serious sites. If your teen knows how to access porn through proxy sites, then we need to bring out the big dogs.
2. Mobile Cell Phone Spy- Mobile Cell phone spy is a hidden application that can be downloaded to your teen’s cell phone to monitors their porn activity. The Mobile Cell Phone Spy was made specifically for the Iphone 3G. You can also purchase the cell phone spy at www.spyparent.net that allows you to read your teen’s deleted text messages.
