Making Money Out Of Mobile - Mobile IM: it's march madness for Yahoo!

Making Money Out Of Mobile - Mobile IM: it's march madness for Yahoo!:
"Yahoo! and Research In Motion (RIM) announced a new relationship to provide Yahoo! Messenger service to BlackBerry users around the world. Through this relationship, the companies plan to pre-install full-color, graphical Yahoo! Messenger clients on BlackBerry devices in the coming months. Unfortunately in the press release there's no indication whether the application will be available to download for existing BlackBerry users. This is another important important move in the mobile industry for Yahoo! which last week announced the RSS feeds availability for mobile users."

So how does all this fit together anyway? You're going to have IM, VOIP, and SMS. I'm sure there's something more to add to that list. Am I going to have to price out which thing I'm going to contact somebody with?
