Some interesting data from Pew. Note that we're not just consumers, but creators thanks to mobile, as evidenced by the photo / video / text growth. Full source is here. Internet access over mobile also is experiencing statistically significant growth. -cfc

"Cell phone ownership has remained stable over the last year, but users are taking advantage of a much wider range of their phones’ capabilities compared with a similar point in 2009. Of the eight mobile data applications we asked about in both 2009 and 2010, all showed statistically significant year-to-year growth.

This year Pew also asked for the first time about seven additional cell phone activities. Among all cell phone owners:

54% have used their mobile device to send someone a photo or video
23% have accessed a social networking site using their phone
20% have used their phone to watch a video
15% have posted a photo or video online
11% have purchased a product using their phone
11% have made a charitable donation by text message
10% have used their mobile phone to access a status update service such as Twitter"
