BUSINESS WIRE — Feb 13 — Jambo Networks announced a service that enables people with common interests and WiFi-enabled devices to meet each other when nearby. "Jambo takes advantage of a little-known ‘ad hoc mode’ in WiFi cards, which allows people to use their devices to directly communicate with each other, whether they are in a WiFi-enabled area or not, so Jambo keeps searching for personal matches, whenever a laptop or other portable device is active — even on an airplane at 30,000 feet," said co-CEO Jim Young. Travelers will be able to communicate with any other Jambo member throughout the La Guardia airport in a few weeks.
Mark Brooks: Proximity based wireless services hold great promise for the online personals services of the future. (Check out the Mobile/Wireless internet dating conference)
I think that Online Dating Social Networking wireless / mobile services, of course, will not be as cheap as contacting via a fixed computer. Some persons, mostly teenagers (from 11 to 25 years old) are used to send a lot of traffic with emails, photos, videos, or simply stay in chat rooms for hours. If they do the same using a cell phone, a PDA or a laptop they will spent a fortune!!!
