I've heard a few people say they love their iPhone, but up until now I didn't know you could find love with it.  Apple's cellphone is the latest gadget to get picked up by speed-dating aficionados, with jam-packed iDating parties being organised in cities across the country.

Starting off with good old-fashioned mingling, the tech-happy singletons then refer to a platter of iPhones each bearing the photo of their owner.  Those you'd like to rub docking cradles with you send a message to; if they agree, they add you to your contacts.

So far so weird, but then you end up listening to people like Barry Faig, a "speed-dating regular":

"I've been added as a contact to more iPhones than I can keep track of... The ladies love my fresh pimpin' style and my dope ass photo helps too"

Were I a cruel man I'd suggest that they add you so that they can avoid you via caller-ID, Barry.
