I see mobile as being popular simply because a lot of techno-happy iGeeks are buying their handhelds these days. But I don't see how porn on such a small screen will ever provide the sort of masturbatory experience that a desktop will. Yes, it's fine when you're without a laptop in a hotel (or even sneaking into the office bathroom), but a 12 square inch screen just ain't gonna cut it in the long-run. It's a limitation of the technology. Perhaps the iPad will do a little better, but then again that's more difficult to carry around. :argue:

I believe the future isn't in mobile, but is in higher speeds. Video will become more common and photos less so. As more producers upgrade cameras we'll see increasing usage of high-def cameras.

I think we'll also see more reliance on review sites like GayGeek and others. The number of gay porn membership sites on the web is increasing and it's becoming increasingly difficult for people to distinguish between sites that keep the promises they make and sites that do not. Good review sites will become a staple for people who want to know if a site is worth joining before they join... as well as a place one goes to shop for a new site to join.

I'm hoping the increasing reliance on review sites and ongoing development within the porn market will see lousy sites shut down. I am pleased to report that in the five (nearly six) years GayGeek has been in operation I've watched a number of affiliate programs merge their "ten photo sets + 500 video feed crap sites" into a smaller handful of sites which actually receive semi-regular updates and maintenance from their programmers. Still others have abandoned the "crap websites" altogether and focused their endeavors elsewhere (I'm looking at you, Pussycash!). I predict this consolidation and eventual eradication of (most) shitty sites will continue for the forseeable future.

There'll always be sites that die a slow death from neglect, but at least we'll see sites that were actually once good before they were abandoned rather than sites that were always crap to begin with.
