Nice! It looks like M:Metrics is going to release this data on a regular basis. This is killer to help educate the industry as a whole and spur discussion. If you read the press release you'll see that though most mobile content consumption areas dipped due to seasonality, photo messaging is still on the rise. They also said that AOL rules mobile IM with 73.8% of users, but Yahoo is the preferred mobile email choice with 49.6%. Great to know.
Awesome. I can't wait until M:Metrics goes international!
