XXX, on a small screen near you

A slideshow of Playboy photos glides by, to the distinct wah-wah guitar of a 1970s porno soundtrack--all in the palm of your hand.

The scenario may not be quite what Apple Computer had in mind for its new iPod Photo music player, but it's almost sure to play out, now that Playboy Enterprises has targeted the device as a distribution channel for its soft-porn empire. This month, the publisher released iBod, a free download for iPod Photo users. The company billed it as the first wedge in a campaign to court mobile audiences, who increasingly tote photo-ready cell phones, MP3 players and other devices.

"Now you can view individual images or entire slide shows in the palm of your hand, at the tap of a button, to beautify your dull commute or just to pass the time in the lecture hall," reads a promotion for the service on Playboy's Web site.

Porn has made its way out of the back alleys and into the nation's living rooms, driving profits and a new-found sense of legitimacy for the industry--but are Americans really ready to rub elbows with porn-wielding commuters on the subway?
