The world is definitely going mobile<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s obvious that the world has changed forever with the explosion in mobile devices; not only phones but also with tablets and e-readers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This article is well worth reading.<\/a> It relates to American stats but if anything, the figures here in Australia are even more eye opening.<\/p>\n

1) Nearly half of all American kids want an iPad for Christmas…. Durrrr… A quick look shows that almost half of Aussie mums want an iPad for Christmas.<\/p>\n

2) Globally, mobile traffic represents roughly 13% of Internet traffic. Three years ago, that figure was 1%. In Australia, we are the 4th best in the world for 3g penetration (76%). The only countries with better penetration than us are Japan (95%), South Korea (85%) and surprisingly Portugal (78%).<\/p>\n

3) Nearly 1\/3 of American adults own a tablet or e-reader. In Australia, that figure is already at 38% and an amazing 76% have smartphones.<\/p>\n

4)There are now 5 billion mobile phone users in the world but “only” 1 billion smartphone users. Smartphone users are growing at the rate of 42% year on year, globally. Watch out for India to disrupt the mobile world in the next 3 years or so. They already have 44 million smartphone users but that represents only 4% of their market.<\/p>\n

5) Android is growing faster than anything. It is growing at 6 times the rate of the iPhone and 3 times the rate of the iPad.<\/p>\n

The full report is available here<\/a> and I think it makes for fascinating reading.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t
