My sister has a portable DVD player, a small 7 inch screen DVD player. Really pretty nice, she loaned it to me when I was down there visiting her and my mom.

These things used to cost about 300-500 bucks but now at Costco, about $130 bucks will send one home.

Portable video is the rage. They have in dash car stereos with a slide out DVD screen, or those roof mounted ones you see in the big SUVs.

Every where you look someone is watching something in the strangest places. Camera phones stream video now, most laptops come standard with a player, and even video games like the Xbox and the PS2 play the movies.

And of course where you have movies, you have porn. In fact it wasn’t long ago a guy was driving his Mercedes down the street with not one but three DVD screens all playing porn. Pretty flipping clever, huh? He wasn’t quite smart enough to watch where he was going though, and drove too close to the police station, and got 3 misdemeanor charges for his efforts.

And it’s no shock, these things play normal movies, and the porn folks know where the market is. But something I read kinda makes me wonder who the market really is…..

The latest and greatest new toy in the video game world is the Sony PSP, a small portable game unit, with incredibly sharp graphics. It is also DVD capable, with special disk. I was skeptical about it when I found out it needed a small disk, thinking “well here comes another special format”. I needn’t have worried, Sony used the UMD or universal media disc format, making it fairly easy for movies to be ported to it. So I was glad to see several new movies advertised on TV tonight showing the PSP format availability.

But, where there is innovation, there is abuse. Can you guess what’s next?

Yep, PSP porn. The UMD format has made it easy for the porn distributors to size their disks down for the PSP. I read it tonight at Top Tech News and I cant say it surprised me. Take a look:
