Oddly enough mobile dating has still not got the attention or traction it deserves and there are plenty of reasons for this. Despite the number of mobile internet users which are outpacing the desktop internet users, the mobile market although hot in many areas has yet to mature in other areas.

One of the areas where it has real potential but still lagging is the online mobile dating. Although there are some apps. already available by the likes of match, eharmony, zoosk there are still plenty of room for expansion. This becomes more obvious when you count the number of online dating sites available on the web and the number of mobile dating applications.

Although one can access the same web page through their mobile phone, the original website was ideally designed for the user sitting in front of a 20 inch or so lcd panel. Some of the mobile OS (operating systems) providers now have browsers that ‘mobilizes’ the current website to fit the smaller screen of the smart phone, fore example sites such as google mobile or m.yahoo.com.

Expect in the coming years the number of mobile dating applications to increase on the smartphone but initially the demand is going to exceed the supply due to the slow pace of websites of converting their site to the mobile equivalent. One primary reason for this is the additional cost of developing a mobile app.

mobile dating has a strong future but few contenders so far
