The launch of the Apple iPhone 4 may have some people grumbling over antenna issues, but those who are in the adult entertainment industry are happier than ever.
The prospect of using FaceTime to rake in the cash in the seemingly recession-proof porn industry is big.
There are already ads on Craigslist luring new employees for into the video sex chat business by offering a free iPhone 4 popping up in big cities across the nation.
More than 3 million of the iPhone 4 phones have already been sold and it's a no-brainer that the adult industry would latch right on to the Facetime feature.
Even though Apple touted it's opposition to having porn apps on their squeaky clean iPhones, it's going to be hard to control the one business that seems to grow despite the bleak economy.
Internet porn has been around for years, so the iPhone 4 doesn't bring anything new to the adult industry other than portable convenience.
For many years, video sex chat was done via a video camera with live streaming or, for those on a low budget, through a webcam. If someone was getting naked, there were plenty of people out there willing to pay for it. Nothing's changed except technology.
Facetime offers discreet sex chat on the go
For iPhone 4 owners who want sex chat on the go, the Facetime application is not only portable, it's discreet. No large computer screen to hide your fetishes--the real-time sex chat can be viewed wherever the iPhone owner is. In an office cubicle, sitting in an airport or in a dark closet. Does it really matter?
The adult industry is smiling broadly thank to Apple's latest gadget. Of course, phones like the HTC Evo 4G also offer video chat. However, it's the clean image that Apple is trying to keep that makes it almost amusing to think that Apple might be squirming a bit at the huge potential the iPhone 4 holds in the sex industry.
It's a Two-Way opportunity for iPhone 4 users
It goes further than portability. With Facetime, it's a two way street. The person paying for video sex chat is also able to turn the tables a bit ... someone who pays for the chat may want to be watched in return. It's likely that many companies in the adult industry will take advantage of promoting the two-way feature, and of course charge extra for it.
How well will Facetime work in the adult industry?
Facetime means you see a face...or some other chosen body part. It seems that the HTC Evo lends itself to be a better gadget for the industry as it has a hands-free stand, but will someone get creative and make the Apple iPhone 4 suitable for hands free Facetime chat? It's likely.
As far as Apple and their desire to overtly sexual content from the App Store, time will tell if they can control what Facetime can be used for.

Looks like the Apple is getting negative press again! The iPhone 4 is a porno device more than it is a phone calling device?! Sounds like Apple will have to disable those front facing cameras for users under the age of 18. Meanwhile, Apple has been hit with a lawsuit against a lot of users complaining about the iPad overheating and shutting down under sunlight? Now the French are complaining about iOS4 installed on older iPhone models which causes it to perform sluggish advising consumers not to upgrade? What's going on Apple?! Your APPL stocks are falling again back to 257!? Investors are not impressed anymore..neither am I!
