OK, my first lackadaisical impression of the iPad could be proven wrong.
If Apple promotes an "explicit" App Store category, as seems likely, porn could turn out to be the iPad's killer application.
By enabling developers to publish "explicit" software titles in the App Store, Apple will provide the potential for a new, unanticipated killer app for iPad: digital interactive magazines, comics, and games that present adult subject matter to audiences that want them while also enabling parents to prevent access to such content within iTunes' preferences.
Access to adult content has long been credited with the success and popularity of technology platforms. It is widely held that JVC's VHS videotape format won out over Sony's Betamax due to the fact that JVC did not attempt to block distribution of adult content in the early 80s. The explosion in popularity of the consumer web has also been credited to its ability to deliver unfettered access to adult content.

Porn always makes products more appealing. In this case Apple doesnt even have to have adult content in their app store, sites like http://www.pinkvisualpad.com are already made specifically for the iPad, no app necessary!
