My thought is that mobile is really great for a sort of viral marketing. In other words, your buddy shows you a naked pic at a bar. But you aren't gonna buy a membership to that site on your cell phone when you're partying at a bar!
Nope, you're gonna go home and google that girl up on a real computer screen where you can see clearly and then buy a membership there.
I have enough trouble typing in a user/pass for my bank app...I can only imagine trying to do a join page on my cell phone. Talk about the potential for hidden x-sells! lol!

I think the true money making idea with phones is connecting you to other people with phones, via dating type mobile site. Imagine being in a bar, mall or just driving around town and being able to log on via your phone with GPS and see were the location (or general location for privacy issues) of tons of single girls are, read their bio and see their video clips, pick the one you like an send her a wink, she checks out your bio etc... if she is interested she starts texting you. Not fake geo targeting shit, but a guy being at a bar and noticing through he phone that 2 other single chicks are there. If you both are interested then go talk in person and hook up... it surely makes it easier for dudes with no balls to meet girls a lot easier (which is 99% of the guys) and girls to be able to weed out the freaks/creeps/stalkers at lot easier then dealing with people face to face until they feel comfortable with them. I could see millions in the 18-35 crowd spending $20 a month for a service like that.
