It's not that the singles who use their mobiles for dating are particularly "time poor" it's just that they have better things to do with their time than sit at home alone with their PC trying to connect with other singles who are sitting at home alone doing the same. It might surprise you to find that "relationship material" often includes people who use their free time to socialise with friends, visit their family when not at work, spend lots of time in airport lounges or take evening classes. Mobile Dating is invaluable to those who work long/inconvenient/unsociable hours such as Doctors, Nurses, Police and Fire Officers. @Nosaj: it’s actually the complete opposite…

What i think: 1) This type of service needs to work on a much wider range of mobiles and mobile networks 2) There has to be some way of assuring users that members are real and as advertised 3) The service needs to be fully moderated by humans to stand any chance of beating the scammers 4) The service needs to be billed like a mobile service, ie. per use and with no subscriptions Brief summary of the comments already made:

Peter Urban/Sammy/Trae Dorn/Jason/AcaKaliman/Dave Thackeray: Probably not for Dating maybe for hook-ups or stalking

Mogilny/Facebook User: Maybe ownership of an iPhone and membership of Match.com is a bad way to filter a potential date because dates need to be on AT&T network, have an iPhone, be on Match.com. in your area, online and posting their location at the same time as you.

This match.com app seems to further accelerate the pace of online dating from browsing at home, to browsing as a bored habit. Dating online is nothing new, or easy, but putting ourselves out there like meat to be consciously judged as an expense for someone's bored thrill seems to make the flame of dating ignite, burn, and diminish all too quickly.
