Apple’s iPad 2 will mean more business for the porn industry as the video chat application FaceTime is put into use for X-rated content.
FaceTime – available on the iPad 2, the latest version of the iPhone and iTouch – has been adapted for porn by a company called iP4Play.
“iP4Play offers a true two-way audio and video experience like no other where both parties can see and hear each other utilizing the stunning display resolution of the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Apple Mac computer,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
iPad 2 launched
It’s certainly not the first time that Apple products have been used for adult content, from its launch FaceTime has been greeted with delight by the adult industry.
The iPad 2 will simply add to the list of porn-friendly technology.
iP4Play launched in August 2010 and currently employs 35 women to handle the phones. The company claims to be the only adult video chat which uses FaceTime.
Punters are loving the service, said managing director Travis Falstad.
“Our typical first-time customer returns 65-70% of the time,” Falstad told the Daily News.
“Our typical user is male, 25-40, and on the more technical side.
“In the early days it was a lot of guys who worked at large tech companies trying out the service. We get the occasional couple.
With our international growth, we are starting to get a lot of customers from the UK, New Zealand, Australia – even Saudi Arabia.”
To date, Apple has been pretty chilled about the porn applications for the iPhone, such as vibrator application MyVibe and Falstad believes iP4Play ‘s relationship with the tech giant as mutually beneficial.
“We believe Apple is happy to have us out here helping to promote FaceTime. Our customers have the ultimate satisfying experience so we’re helping to convert tens of thousands of new FaceTime users,” he said.
“Adult drives innovation in technology so I think it’s a natural fit that’s born out by our satisfied customers.”
