What do you get when you combine two of the biggest tech trends today - social networking and mobile?

You get Helio, a new youth-oriented cell phone service that wisely has formed an exclusive partnership with MySpace. A customized, WAP-based MySpace client comes on each Helio handset. It not only makes it easy to read MySpace blogs on the go, but also to write to them.

The Wall Street Journal (via the Kansas City Star) sees this as a big trend. They note that Facebook's mobile services will be available to students at more than 2,000 universities by the end of this month and high school users by early May.
