The mobile dating app Are You Interested? from software development company SNAP Interactive has recently revealed that their popular dating app will now be hosting live chat to help singles connect more easily with one another through their iPhones. The chat functionality will enable users to make use of a GPS feature that helps them interact with those in their local area. Not only will users be able to make use of the chat rooms provided, but they can also screen other users by specifics such as age range or sexual orientation. In addition, users may initiate private chat conversations with specific users of their choosing.

By incorporating the use of other platforms such as Facebook and the Are You Interested? website, this app expands user’s dating range to up to 14 million people with an estimated 2.5 million users online at any given time from more than 170 countries around the world. The site sets an impressive record of user time logged per session, as well, with most staying an average of 16 minutes per login. During the beta phase alone, more than thirty thousand messages flew through the chat rooms as users quickly embraced the new feature.

The addition of location based screening of users is expected to send the service a massive boom in users.

Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal gadget reviewer reported last week at the Bleep.TV Executive Summit in Washington that Apple will definitely release the much anticipated 3G iPhone in just sixty more days. This makes the launch date for this already highly popular iPhone to be set in June, which has already previously been noted as the expected launch date. The WWDC 08 begins on June 9 and the anticipated iPhone 2.0 software as well as the SDK launch is expected in June as well. With the expected launch of the new 3G iPhone also planned to take place in June, consumers can expect quite a splash of activity from Apple over the next few weeks.

Another iPhone Exploit?

There may be another potentially dangerous iPhone/iPod Touch exploit ready to affect both the iPhone and iPod Touch – many units may be affected running firmware versions between 1.0.2 up to 1.1.3. This means that if this is confirmed, owners of the newly launched 16GB iPhone and 32GB iPod Touch will also be affected.
At the moment, it is difficult to say if this is some exaggerated bug or if there is a real cause for concern and it is also debateable whether this exploit is simply a nuisance or whether it will cause any real damage.
The exploit is said to be similar to the TIFF (Image) exploit which Apple was prompt to patch up. When the iPhone/iPod user browses onto a site containing the malicious code, a memory-intensive process is triggered and this causes the device to crash.
Apple is yet to issue a fix which raises doubts as to how severe the exploit is likely to be. However, concerned users can, for the time being, disable JavaScript in Safari which should keep their devices safe although by doing so, they will have to compromise on their browsing experience.
