Although I think mobile is definitely worth exploring, especially if billing can be tied to it....
I gotta ask myself from a user point of view, how pent up do ya gotta be to wanna rub one out to a 1 inch screen?

Then think of something you would do with a cell phone user...
Collect their number and sell it to me for one thing ;-)
For example you could give them a free 24 hour password to your paysites.. delivered by SMS message only.. Free for both parties... and depending on the site and how much info you can get, earn good money for each one... and target them for SMS micropayment upsells when they get in the members area.
If you own or know a bar/club print an SMS number on your coasters that people can send a code word you display above the bar to for a free drink. Spend a thousand bucks promoting it in local press and the bar will likely cover the free drinks... Depending on the club and location and how much demographic info can be gleaned.. each number may be worth as much as 10 bucks to you... ;-)
here's another good idea too.... Check out Cj's
http://www.redhotgreetings.com/ site... you will have to register to see it... (but its worth doing to see this work) She has a link under every e-card to send it to a cellphone now.. when you see how that works on her site it might open your mind to more ideas too imho... we can send Any Images to phones now.. and half the world has had phones that use this stuff for years.. American's who twig to the opportunity first and manage to hook us into the US market earliest will do very well imho.
