“Playboy is offering its own special brand of holiday cheer to iPod Photo owners–free soft porn. The adult entertainment icon has posted a download called ‘iBod’ on its Web site that delivers pictures for viewing on Apple Computer’s new iPod photo device,” Richard Shim reports for CNET News. “The free gallery consists of 25 PG-rated images sized for the iPod photo’s display. Digital content with nude pictures is available on Playboy’s subscription site Playboy Cyber Club.”

“A Playboy representative described the download as a soft launch for services that will target a variety of portable devices capable of displaying photos. A formal launch is planned for January, but the company figured many iPod photo devices would be given out for the holidays and made the feature available now,” Shim reports. “‘We aimed at the iPod first because its owners know how to download images,’ said Rob Walton, entertainment senior editor for Playboy.com. The feature is meant in part to show Playboy.com visitors how to download Playboy content onto a portable device, according to Walton.”
