 Why not use that sexy iPhone in your pocket to get in touch with sexy members of the opposite sex? Well, DNA Dating has announced their new web-app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that gives iPhoners access to the new on the web dating network wherever, whenever.
Simply point your iPhone's Safari browser to http://www.datingdna.com/iphone and begin browsing pics of other compatible singles on your iPhone. Profiles are served up using a compatibility scoring system - your “dating DNA” - to help increase the chances that you'll run into someone you're likely to vibe well with. When you find a possible match, add them to your “DNA Strand” to make a future contact or just keep their profile handy.
Dating DNA is based on a person's one-of-a-kind “dating DNA” identifier. Just like your double-helix DNA that determines everything from hair color to your susceptibility to certain cancers, Dating DNA helps you determine your compatibility with other singles by assigning a 9-digit “dating DNA” number to every user. The number is based on a questionnaire on the company's website.
“Not only is it our desire to grant everyone to use their Dating DNA Number all across the Internet's social graph, but we also want to make our services available on a wide array of World wide web devices, such as the iPhone,” said Kevin Carmony, CEO of Dating DNA.

Asda has announced Britain's lowest priced PAYG (Pay As You Go) mobile phones deal, selling handsets for £5! Apparently it's a “no strings” deal so you can buy just the device, without needing to purchase an credit (although clearly you'd need some to make calls…..). Over 50,000 of the handset will be available at stores across the UK while stocks last, and there are a choice of four:
- Sagem My212x
- Sagem My220x
- Sagem My150x
- Nokia 1112
(The PAYG tariffs come from Virgin, T-Mobile and Orange)
News, as if any were needed, that the commoditisation of mobile devices has reached astronomic levels…

 Veveo™ Inc., has announced an “extraordinary” new web video experience for Sony Ericsson Mobile phone owners. Through the SE video-enabled mobile/web portal, customers will have access to over 150m (!) web videos via vtap - which is an apparently one-of-a-kind mobile web video service. vtap grants rapid search and viewing of web videos from sites such as YouTube™, DailyMotion™, and MySpace™ - all using their existing data services.
The intelligence of the vtap solution starts checking videos on input of the first character of text string in to the search area, making results quicker to appear. There is also grouping of video results together in to folders, allowing dynamic menus of results to be generated.
vtap also maintains an indes of more than 150m web videos which are constantly updated - having set up a profile you can collect, organise, and share video as you like.
vtap has been optimised for a selection of Sony Ericsson’s handsets:
The service is available immediately for Sony Ericsson Java Platform 8 (JP8) enabled handsets models: Z770i, K850i, W910i, K660i, W890i, Z750i and Sony Ericsson’s JP7 models: W880i, K810i, T650i, K530i, W580i, K770i, W660i. The service will support English, French, Italian, German and Spanish languages.
Comment: Hmmm, interesting - it will be great to hear feedback from any IntoMobile readers that have one of the above handsets, and happen to try it. My personal experience of working with Mobile Video is that converting (or “transcoding” as we like to say) it can be extremely challenging, especially from some of the more advanced web video formats….

 Director Spike Lee has hooked up with Nokia to direct a movie made with Mobile phone video footage from “everyday people”, in what he’s apparently calling the “democratization of film”. The film will be by Nokia Productions and will be over 3 acts - an “assignment” will be announced online for each act, adn then people will have 4 weeks to create their submission.
The central thread (theme) will apparently be based around the way music tells the story of humanity, and different media can be submitted - text, music, video, or images - which you can check out at http://www.nokiaproductions.com.
Nokia will choose 25 submissions, and people will then vote on the web for the Top 10, of which Spike himself will select the winners.The final, complete, film will premiere later in the year in LA.

 StarHub recently announced that it has now officially launched Singapore's first nation-wide LBS (location-based service) for mobile advertising. For advertisers, the fit is obvious - send marketing/promo messages (SMS) to subscribers when they’re in contextually relevant location. For customers, they get appropriate messages to what they’re doing, both on a where and when basis.
For the launch, WTS Travel & Tours, (a massive player in travel industry there) will be using the service to inform customers of promos and deals. Other advertisers and merchants will be going live shortly, apparently.
Comment: given the defined (and restricted) geographical area an Island occupies, this is a great place to try out Mobile services - there's a reason why O2 deployed 3G first on the Isle of Man for example! Everyone has got to be happy with targeted Ads, but having them contextualised for location is a neat spin on things - I can't wait for the first set of stats showing the service uptake and conversion in to buyers from those clicking through - bring me the stats!

 Damn good, that's how good.
HTC is really pulling out all the stops with their upcoming upgraded handsets. HTC's still unannounced Diamond, Raphael, and Titanium handsets are going to hit the scene to much fanfare and we're hoping to see at least one of these devices on May 6th.
Packed full of features and oozing sexiness, the new HTC Touch devices are poised to give the smartphone market some serious competition.
So, just how good will the handsets be? Let's find out.
 HTC Touch Pro
Otherwise known as the HTC Raphael, the HTC Touch Pro will apparently take HTC's sliding QWERTY keyboard form-factor to new levels. The 2.8-inch glossy VGA touchscreen display is the main aesthetic draw on the HTC Touch Pro, but that doesn't mean the goodies end there. Here's the feature-set:
- Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
- 256MB ROM / 128MB RAM
- Qualcomm MSM 7201A @ 528MHz
- 7.2MB HSDPA / HSUPA (rev A EVDO for CDMA versions)
- 2.8″ VGA (480

 Short but sweet - Echostar were very successful in the current FCC spectrum auctions in the US - and a lot of people were pointing to the fact that the Satellite Pay-TV operator was going to go Mobile. As some of you probably already know, Echostar also snared SlingMedia not so very long ago, so the pointers were there.
Well the pointers just got larger, and more accurate - they just announced a partnership with Alcatel-Lucent to test DVB-SH (SAT variant of DVB-H) in the US. Interestingly, analysts are saying this ain't a good move, due to the rol-out costs of the service in the face of existing competition.
Watch this space to see what Echostar actually decide to do - you never know, we might have a hot new broadcast Mobile TV player in the market relatively soon…..
