I love this article in Time about how the iPhone 3G will be ideal for mobile porn. Gosh, you can cut out the carrier, gosh kids will be able to get at it. So how does this change from any other phone with a browser, or for that matter an iPod Touch?

However the humour in the article appears to be unintentional: “the iPhone is like a Trojan horse that lets smut providers cut out the carrier as middleman.” Heavens above, they missed off the trademark on Trojan! And it gets better: the Apple spokewoman is called Bowcock. The less said about that the better, I think.

On a more serious note, as a service provider things like Vodafone’s Adult Content Blocker is an inconvenience, it’s not very well implemented, but it does actually do what it says on the tin. However the article makes no mention of the good work that has been done in the UK at least in this area, and it ignores the unregulatable world of personal wifi.
