In iPhone, adult industry sees pocket porn market

NEW YORK (AP) -- It's a maxim of technology: Invent the newest gadget 
and the porn industry will find a way to cash in.

So when Apple Inc. launched the iPhone 4 and its FaceTime 
videoconference feature, it didn't take long for adult-entertainment 
companies to develop video-sex chat services and start hiring workers 
through Craigslist.

With more than 3 million of the phones already sold, the adult 
industry stands to make big money on this new way to reach out and 
touch someone - even if it puts Apple, which has always taken pains 
to keep its iPhone apps squeaky clean, in an awkward spot.

In at least five cities, Craigslist ads seek models specifically for 
video sex chat on FaceTime. Many of the ads even offer to throw in a 
free iPhone 4 for the new employees.
