Report: Mobile blogging just a niche app
ABI Research says the practice of mobile blogging may receive a lot of hype, but in reality is only a niche application. Analysts at the company expect only 655,000 "active" mobloggers by the end of the year, growing to only 2.7 million by 2011 (out of a base of 3 billion mobile subscribers worldwide).
Hurdles include the still-poor picture quality of cameraphones, and the lack of interesting things to post by people with boring lives. The exception--moblogs tied to larger online communities.

I think one of the reason of slow adoption is that you need data service on your phone to be able to post. So the number of people blogging from their phone is less.
