Harvey Kaplan, director of mobile operations for xobile.com, a company in Charlotte, N.C., that sells two-minute hard-core video clips for download over phones, said he believed that thirst for sex-related content would drive the popularity of Internet-enabled phones.Ladies and gentlemen, right there is my new favorite euphemism for masturbation: "Five minutes of quiet time." Let's all start using it.
"People aren't going to go out and buy a cellphone that streams video so they can watch a trailer of a Disney movie," he said. "But they will buy that phone if they have five minutes of quiet time" viewing sexually explicit video.
Streaming video porn over a cellphone is a little, well, obvious.
I much prefer the approach taken by Moantones, an English company that sells obscene ring-tone replacements. At one point, possibly as a promotional gimmick at launch, they were offering one-off (pardon the expression) recordings of a sexy voice moaning your name softly as part of a customised ringtone.
Somehow I managed to curb the urge to order one of those. Awkward in a business setting, you know?
