The media has been predicting the impending death of newspapers and magazines for years and meanwhile I recently unboxed my iPad and the first apps I looked to add were exactly that: Newspapers (NY Times) and magazines (Zinio, Vanity Fair).

Isn't it more of a rebirth or metamorphosis of an old format than it is about its death?

With some similar hand-wringing going on over the future of porn in its current state, I wondered if this wasn't an area ripe for exploitation with a porn based app. I know some porn sites are "optimized" for use with mobile devices, but no real apps out there, or are there?

Of course, you probably won't be able to list it on the iTunes App store any time soon, but couldn't an app be downloaded from outside iTunes? I have downloaded several android apps directly from websites on my cellphone.

With all the various app based tablet devices poised to start being introduced it seems like it's a market getting ready to explode. An app for short video clips based on the pornstar, sex act, etc., etc., along the lines of what an app like Zinio does for magazines seems like a natural for the hungry future porn consumer.

I think part of the fun of a post like this might be to read reasons why it is impossible or impractical to make a porn app to go back to and re-read once somebody finally does it.
