If a picture is worth a thousand words, dating with the new video iPod will leave you speechless.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, (PRWEB) November 19, 2005 -- Let's face it. The dating scene is never easy and sometimes trying to find that "special someone" or even just a date doesn't exactly come easy, especially if you spend most of your time on the go. For this reason, online Internet database dating services have become increasingly popular for young professionals who are looking to find attractive potential dates instantly from the comfort of their own home or office. According to Jupiter Research, more than 17 million people viewed online personals last year and 2.5 million people have paid for online personals.

But even taking the time to read online profiles can be a bit time consuming and they don't always capture the true personality of the potential date like the prehistoric video dating once did. That's where PodDater.com (www.poddater.com) takes dating on-the-go one step further.

The venture, started by David Hunegnaw and Roopan Dey, brings the success of Internet Dating to any video MP3 player, including the new iPod with video. PodDater.com allows members to find love (or friendship) by downloading potential matches to their portable player and check them out on the go.

With over 21 million iPods sold, the iPod is easily the world's most popular digital music player and now the newest editions with video -- the possibilities of adding a new avenue to dating in the city are endless.

"Several months ago we identified an opportunity to bring Internet dating to portable devices like the iPod," says Hunegnaw. "With the introduction of the iPod with video, we naturally jumped on the opportunity to leverage the technology and take dating on-the-go to a whole new extreme."

PodDater, the first video dating service of its kind, allows members to see a person's true personality rather than guessing from just an instant message or e-mail. "While Internet dating allows you to chat with people and 'get to know' them, seeing how someone comes across on video is another way to find people who you feel fit the criteria you are looking for without sitting in front of a computer screen," adds Dey.

Imagine sitting on the train, bus or waiting in line for your morning coffee and having the ability to search for that evening's date or your future soul mate. It's possible with PodDater.com.
