It will be damn big, and damn fast…

Phew… been going thru hundreds of pages just last week released The Mobile Internet Report by Morgan Stanley. Interesting statistics and conclusions to read. I fully agree how those wise people at Morgan Stanley summarized the findings of their research:

Mobile Ramping Faster than Desktop Internet Did and Will
Be Bigger Than Most Think –
5 Trends Converging (3G + Social Networking + Video +
VoIP + Impressive Mobile Devices)

Regarding pace of change, we believe more users will
likely connect to the Internet via mobile devices than
desktop PCs within 5 years

And seems to happen as it did with that “Desktop Internet”… driving force is the users and many (most?) of the companies do not realize that until they do not have any possibilities than to move “into” mobile internet. Sweet spot has reached already in Europe, next year world wide but… yeah… companies will wake up, too.. yet again late….

Evangelism, we need a bit that… and that will be done!

Black Friday was not sad for mobile commerce

650% growth in a year.. not bad, eh? Well, some might say that starting low makes it easy to grow a lot if measured by percentages. Yes, that’s true but wasn’t it so with “normal” web, too?

In a recent data reviewed by Dow Jones (via mocoNews), mobile phones are used increasingly to buy things. This is helped by higher-end phones as well as by retailers who are building their sites and services to serve mobile phone users, too.

Those retailers or web shops serving mobile phone users are still rare. Some are trying, some are getting there and the ones who have already taken some action, have not been disappointed. Like, Swiftcover in UK (swiftcover.mobi) combined the launch of their mobile site with outdoor marketing allowing people to get quotes for their car insurance straight away by using their mobile phones. Unfortunately can’t tell about exact numbers but, well, lets put it this way: it worked!
