Playboy released iBod, a free download service for Apple's iPod Photo.
The software plays a slideshow of around 25 soft-porn photos while an
oldies porno-soundtrack is playing in the background.

This is Playboy's first venture in serving mobile audience. And the
downloads are for free.

According to the promotion on Playboy's website, the user can either
view individual images or entire slide shows in the palm of his hand
while he is travelling or he wishes to entertain himself during "a
boring lecture".

If IT research group Visiongain's predictions about growth in the mobile
porn industry is to be believed, the wireless porn profit should touch
about $4 billion by 2006. The growth is expected in countries where 3g
wireless networks capable of delivering high speed Internet access are
well-developed.

Soft-porn is not considered illegal in India but trafficking in such
content is.

The recent arrest and release on bail of the CEO of Baazee.com allegedly
for allowing a seller to offer for sale an MMS clip of two teenage
classmates of a Delhi school had raised a storm in the entire nation.
