The recently released 'Report on Mobile Shopping' from ForeSee Results, a firm which measures customer satisfaction, found that more than 33% of all survey respondents in the United States had accessed a retailer's website using a mobile phone (compared to 24% in 2009), and an additional 26% said that they plan to use their mobile phone to visit a company's website, mobile website, or use a mobile application in the future. In other words, more than half of all online shoppers are either already using or plan to use their phones for retail purposes*.

ForeSee Results' study also found that the use of mobile phones is increasing dramatically, indicating that any retailer who is not wholeheartedly using mobile apps for business is leaving money on the table for competitors*.

Another report from Nielsen found that smartphone ownership had nearly doubled between 2008 and 2009 and Nielsen is forecasting that by 2015, smartphones will be the primary enablers of consumer shopping engagements*.
