Playboy launches ‘iPlayboy’ for Apple iPhone

With the eagerly-anticipated Apple iPhone almost here, Playboy.com is celebrating the glorious gadget with the launch of “iPlayboy,” a collection of multimedia features designed to turn up the heat on that cool, new phone.

iPhone owners may visit Playboy.com to download a free set of twelve sexy non-nude Playmate wallpapers, a separate photo album with twelve additional Playmate photos, a complete 1-hour episode of Playboy Radio’s “The Playmate Hour” (SIRIUS Satellite Radio # 198) with hosts Miriam Gonzalez (Miss March ’01) and Pilar Lastra (Miss August ’04) and a Playboy.com Cyber Girl video, all customized for the Apple iPhone.

“We have always tried to stay ahead of the curve by delivering the fun, sophistication and sexiness of Playboy to our fans on the newest and hottest media platforms,” said John D. Thomas, editor of Playboy.com, in the press release. “And with so much buzz surrounding the all-in-one Apple iPhone, we knew we had to develop something specifically designed just for this device.”

  1. @Hey

    Yes, I beleive MDN did put out a story about porn and Bluray vs HDDVD.

    I think this is tech news for two reasons:

    1. It is content being offered specifically for the iPhone, not phones in general.
    2. Wether you like porn or not, it is a huge business. Porn can make or break a tech product (i.e.- BetaCassettes)

  2. @hey:
    You’re right–this site doesn’t need to go there. Porn should not be considered “mainstream.” MDN is a private organization and is free to decide whether or not to promote it. Hope MDN reconsiders.

  3. @hey

    Illegal drugs are a big business too! Does it make it right???

    I don’t care how big a bid-ness’ it is. If it’s promoting bad behavior, bad breath, ect, ect. It aint right in this tech venue!

  4. @schmluss

    Ok if I slap yo’ Mama, who are you to say that is bad behavior on my part.

    Get real dude, someone has to decide what bad behavior is, otherwise crime would not be crime..stealing would not be stealing, quit kneejerk responding…..sheesh!

  5. Jay Leno referred last night to a story about a guy who is being charged (God knows for what crime!) for having sex in a hotel room with his . . . . bicycle (seriously)!!

    Could it be that future editions of the iPhone . . . . um ….??!!

  6. Ok, ok enough with the “VHS won because of porn” stuff. Of course it won it was cheaper and porn was mostly only available in a theater. But with VHS you could watch it at home cheaper than betamax.
    But that is null and void now. Porn is freely available on the internet. And since the iPhone is very capable of internet browsing… you see my point. It’s the iPhone’s great internet features that will allow porn to be procured.
    It’s cool that a big name like Playboy did this, but really it’s more of a publicity show than anything else. There are much prettier girls on the net who show more for less money. So as great as Playboy was it’s a little behind the times. But that’s just my opinion.
    And I love the name calling by the people who don’t like porn. “Smut”, “trash”, “garbage”. May I remind you that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.
    Each person’s opinion is his own reality.

  7. OMG, this now means every executive wil be rushing over themself’s to get an iPhone.

    I guess those whom are complaining about this sort of news
    is that minors “unsupervised” or teens who search tech-news clicking on these links. Of-course there are numerous
    app’s that block these sites, and secondly you don’t have to click on the link if you dont want to read this news, thirdly
    with Web 2.0 there maybe a way to block or hide news of this type! If the user so chooses, another point to make is that even Walstreet J, NY,Times, Chicago SUN among other notable “Newspapers” & “Online” have always reported this type of news.

    “for someone who can’t ever figure out how to solve a Mac problem with adobe DW”

    I never said I couldn’t. I’m said I don’t.
    I *can* clean toilets too, but don’t do it on Adobe’s clock.

    Pffff.

  9. @FUseeK

    Another man’s garbage is another man’s treasure?

    Dude, please tell me that you literally find ‘treasure’ in a garbage can
    Hmm let’s see, used baby diapers, old leftover food, plastic bags, dog do-do, etc. Is your reality that what ever anyone’s personal reality is is reality? Good Gol’ ya’ll, I’m glad your not a college professor!
    And by the way, I did answer schmull’s question with a question.
    YOU tell me who decides what is bad behavior if I slapped yo’ mama? YOU answer the question dude!

  10. Most (nearly all) Playboy material is rated R, not X/MA. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it but please don’t judge those who do.

    That said, perhaps instead of identifying iPhones by storage capacity they should do it by cup size.
