Like it or not, the iPhone now has an adult web app. The first adult web app is the iPorn, which is now offering free membership for those 18 years old and above. The app was developed according to the iPhone specifications and may very well put the parental controls of Apple to good use.

iPorn allows members to stream high-resolution videos, post and share sexy videos and photos with friends, create member profile pages, meet and interact with other members, send private messages to each other and make lots of new friends who share a passion for sex.

Users can personally interact with hundreds of amateur and professional adult performers via live video webcams, chat and mobile texting.

Members can send adult videos from the website to their iPhone or iPod Touch-equipped friends. Other versions for other smartphones, such as the Blackberry, Android and Palm Pre, are scheduled to come out this summer.

Gateway has unveiled two new notebooks in the market, the UC and the MD Series. The 15.6-inch MD Series brings in the style and capabilities of Gateway’s already popular MC Series, while focusing more on digital media. The UC Series is the company’s first notebook with a 13.3-inch widescreen display, making for a pleasantly portable design.

“These notebooks are incredibly different in terms of style and form factor, yet they both include best-in-class technology at incredible values. The entertainment and multimedia capabilities of the MD Series and the all-around mobility of the UC Series make them perfect for today’s savvy customers who know what they’re looking for in a new notebook,” Sawall said.

UC Series
Gateway’s UC Series also has its perks. The notebook weighs in at just 5.3 lbs. yet still offers high performance and enough features to please most users out there.
