Mobile Commerce, Magento Style …
Mobile Commerce is here and its happening! Internet Retailer recently posted findings by Nielsen Mobile (part of The Nielsen Company),
Nielsen Mobile reports 9.16 million U.S. mobile phone users, 3.6% of the total 254.5 million, have used their phones to pay for goods and services, through avenues including wireless carrier portals, m-commerce sites and text messages. What’s more, 49% of the 94 million mobile phone users with data service—the ability to access the Internet from a mobile device—expect to participate in mobile commerce in the future ... Already millions of mobile users are logging on to their favorite retailers over the phone and purchasing items. With the success of m-commerce sites like Amazon.com, which more than 2 million people have visited, and eBay, which more than 3 million have visited, this shows a critical mass that represents a real opportunity for retailers.
Stay tuned for an announcement later this week regarding Magento’s mobile commerce offerings.
