Ok, thanks. (: It might also be interesting to differentiate mobile editors by form factor. For example, tablet editors might be more likely to edit Wikipedia, while phone editors might be more likely to edit Wikidata.

This is an Encyclopedia
One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not know.

Right now, no. The aim of the Mobile Apps Team is to grow readership.

In the long run we obviously want to get these readers we're trying to get to contribute to Wikipedia. On the mobile apps, I doubt that will be in the form of traditional editing, though. Mobile-friendly contributions like editing Wikidata descriptions and contributing lead images are a more exciting avenue, in my opinion.
 
By the way, is there a graph somewhere that shows the growth of Mobile Web and Mobile Apps edits and active editors?

There is editing data for mobile web and apps here: http://mobile-reportcard.wmflabs.org/#apps-graphs-tab

I should note that the repository that contains the code that generates this data hasn't been touched in a while, so I'm not certain about the accuracy of this data. That said, I took a quick look at the code, and it seems to be grabbing the right data, so I'm pretty sure it's accurate.
