Mobile devices are red hot today! This is the one day where you have to call your loved one at least three times but you need to do so much more! You need to make reservations at a nice restaurant. You probably should use your browser capabilities to check what’s on at the movies or theatres as well as check the location of that nice restaurant. Of course you’ll want to use the location based services to download those sites to your phone so you can arrive on time. You need to capture a mobile-movie at work then send a multi-media message saying how much you miss that significant one. I like to put my files and papers laid out in a heart shape encircling “her” picture. Any relationship, from one day to fifty years needs to pass the Valentines Day test.

 

Now it is easier to make that significant relationship, by using your mobile device. While computer dating has been around for years, mobile dating is an ever increasing market. There are several mobile dating services with the large operators offering their own services. In Matt Hamblen’s article “Finding love on the cell phone”, he points out that analysts at Frost & Sullivan put the revenues for global mobile dating services at $31 million in 2005, a number that is expected to grow to $215 million in 2009. Mobile dating offers a lot of advantages over computer dating. It allows you to share experiences in real time, if you see something while at lunch you can just snap a photo and share it. You can call or text at anytime including during breaks at work instead of just in the evening. With the increase in mobile broadband, faster text services and the ability to text or call mobile phones are the ultimate pre-dating service.
