Playboy aims to sex up U.S. mobile phones

120204playboy_phone.jpg Playboy Enterprises' plan to introduce adult entertainment for mobile phones next year may leave some people wondering, reports News.com.

"Under an agreement with Seattle-based Dwango Wireless, Playboy plans to sell adult mobile-phone content in the United States and Canada for the first time early next year.

The Playboy service is likely to feature images from the company's magazine, while audio clips will focus on jazz and hip hop music.

Subscribers who request R-rated content will be asked to verify that they are 18 years of age or older, a Playboy representative said. In addition, the service will appear as a separate item on subscribers' wireless services or credit card bills.

Playboy already sells wireless entertainment overseas."
