  • iPhone growth is 10x faster than the original growth rate of AOL
  • Mobile coupons generate 10x the redemption rate of traditional coupons
  • Search is twice as prevalent on mobile web than on a PC (and focus is on "local")
  • Not just for teens: The average age of a person who is sending text messages is 35
  • Top 3 uses of smartphones are: email (82%), directions(63%) and Social Media (62%)
  • It only takes 1 line of code to determine the type of devices visiting your site (helps render the right version of your site)
