Japanese love their mobile phone smilies, and regulary fill their mobile emails with not just emoticons as covered by this survey, but now small (and large) animated icons with the latest Deco Mail (HTML) features on many of the new models. Here, almost one in seven used at least three per mail, and less than one in fifty hated receiving them. In addition, over one in three created their own emoticons. This story also features my favourite graph, so I am rather happy to have the excuse to show it off to a wider audience.
