Don’t Look Now, But the Samsung Galaxy Tab Has a Porn Button

I’ve seen it all now. I wasn’t too surprised when we started seeing adult entertainment apps pop up in the Android market. I wasn’t surprised that Steve Jobs took the first opportunity he could to attack Android because of that. One thing I am surprised by on this beautiful Columbus day, however, is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab comes stock with a Porn button.

I wonder what happens when you press this button. Does it open up an adulterated sex portal of epic proportions? Will it fulfill your fantasies one dirty clip at a time? Or is “Porn” just short for the Romanian word “Pornire” which translates to “Home” in English? I’m sure it’s the latter-most, but the child in me had to post this story anyway. And it’s a slow news day thanks to it being a holiday and thanks to another certain mobile phone operating system by the folks that power most of your PCs taking up space on the newswire. Carry on.

    Didn’t Phandroid already do a write up on this?

  • SoKal26

    Haha, I must admit this was an extremely entertaining article. I couldn’t stop myself from cracking up in front of all my customers here at work. Nicely done.

    @NLsme I’m pretty sure this is the first time.

    Yes it is short for ‘Pornire’ but i’m guessing you already knew that it was in another language when you got the pic :) On the other hand, who would translate it like that – is there any chance that the system automatically abbreviates that word?

  • Nlsme

    Yeah, sorry. It was another site.

  • The_Omega_Man

    I say press the button and let’s see what happens. ;-)

  • drone46

    Im glad we have Steve Jobbs to protect us from ourselves. What would we do if we had to think for ourselves?….

  • n@te

    that was funny made me laugh :)

  • ToastnJam

    Now that’s fn funny! I’m sure all the holy rollers out there read the title of this post and just freaked out and automatically decided to boycott this Samsung product and all future Samsung products before actually finding out more about it. Great story!

    I am actually Romanian and just wanted to clear something up. The Romanian word “Pornire” really translates to “Start”. “Pornire” would have to be a power button and that does not look like a power button.

    GIVE ME THAT!1!

  • hardeehar

    Which really begs the question, how many people are buying a galaxy tab just to be able to look at internet porn on-the-go?

    I know *I* am!

    @drone46: Sadly enough, we’d probably all be forced to “think different”. :p

  • amh

    The worst part for me? I read POM, as in Maven.
