Hey - ex-mobile guy here. I used to work at Blyk, ad funded mobile network that started in the UK and has grown out into some other territories. I guess the short answer is: you can make a ton of money in mobile. Anyway, I've got friends now who are on the visual side of things (ranging from all levels of experience) and they charge anywhere from £200-£500 a day. You have to get into the right circles, i.e. with the ad agencies (not mobile agencies) - then you can make an absolute fortune. For these guys mobile is a dark art, they don't get native apps (still) and HTML 5 is still a long way away for them. If your going to go down this route, don't package yourself up as a developer or designer - if you are able to plan a campaign for someone like Mastercard, with a gimmicky app or similar (and make the prototype) then your absolute gold dust. Anyway, long story short - lots of money in mobile, knowledge is sparse, work with ad agencies and definitely (if you can) freelance.
