Mobile has grown so fast that it’s now the leading digital platform, with total activity on smartphones and tablets accounting for two-thirds of digital media time spent, and smartphone apps alone now capturing roughly half of digital media time.
Why have apps become such a powerful force in our daily media lives? The power of habit. The comScore 2016 U.S. Mobile App Report explores the dynamics of mobile media consumption, audiences, and user habits to understand what’s behind this surge in mobile activity, and how publishers and advertisers can take advantage.
For each of the past several years, many tech industry pundits have proudly proclaimed that the upcoming year will be “the year of mobile.” And while it may be true that mobile is continually becoming more important to the digital landscape, the industry is only now undergoing its most significant changes.
This report examines the mobile and connected device landscape with a focus on the U.S. market but includes highlights from several other markets: the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada and Japan.

Global Mobile and M-Commerce Trends 2011yStats.com
The “Global Mobile and M-Commerce Trends 2011” report compiled by Hamburg-based market research firm yStats.com points out global developments of mobile communication and M-Commerce. For this purpose, 42 nations in different regions of the world were analyzed using secondary market research tools. The results show that the major Asian markets are far ahead of their European counterparts when it comes to M-Commerce.
It is expected that revenue from M-Commerce will increase tenfold from 2010 to 2014 in the USA, where in 2011 the number of mobile Internet users is predicted to reach more than 100 million. A similar trend is shaping up in Latin America, where according to predictions in 2015 more than 450 million people will use cell phones.
Smartphones support the positive trend in Europe
In the EU5 (Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy) more than 90 million individuals are expected to use mobile Internet by 2015. In Germany an M-Commerce boom is predicted spurred by the growing popularity of smartphones. In 2010, more than 20 % of all smartphone owners used their device on a regular basis to search for product information. In Great Britain M-Commerce revenue is expected to double over the next three years. However, only a small percentage of the British population has previously used cell phones for their purchases. As demonstrated in the “Global Mobile and M-Commerce Trends 2011” report by yStats.com, 10 % of all consumers in France used M-Commerce in 2010, while one quarter of mobile Internet users made purchases using their cell phones in the first half of 2010. In Sweden 20 % of the population accessed the Internet with a mobile device.
Asian markets are leading the M-Commerce trend
In Japan almost 10 % of all mobile Internet users visited shopping portals using a cell phone in December 2010. In China M-Commerce accounted for 6 % of mobile Internet revenue. Thailand was, – followed by Indonesia – the leading Asian country where most users intended to use M-Commerce. Australia is also expecting a strong increase in M-Commerce for 2011. In South Africa 40 % accessed the Internet via cell phones in 2010.

The 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report - COMSCORERomain Fonnier
Digital media time in the U.S. has exploded recently – growing nearly 50 percent in the past two years, with more than three-fourths of that growth directly attributable to the mobile app. Mobile has grown so fast that it’s now the leading digital platform, with total activity on smartphones and tablets accounting for 62 percent of digital media time spent, and apps alone now representing the majority of digital media time at 54 percent.
Why have apps become such a powerful force in our daily media lives? The power of habit. The 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report explores the dynamics of mobile media consumption, audiences, and user habits to understand what’s behind this surge in mobile activity, and how publishers and advertisers can take advantage.
Some key topics covered in the report include:
The implication of mobile apps’ growing share of digital media usage time
The mobile web’s critical role in expanding audience reach
The value of the home screen, how users behave with it, and other consumer habits on smartphones

Syncapse Increasing Campaign Effectiveness With Social MediaAndrew Ballenthin
Indeed, social media has clearly become a very effective way to drive consumer awareness and campaign effectiveness. But our survey went one step further. We identified a critical segment of the social media audience who carry a disproportionate level of influence on consumers. This group, who we call Social Media Producers, also tend to spend more on the brands they recommend. Activating this segment of the consumer audience will provide incremental benefits to those brands that understand how to engage consumers through social channels. To help them, Syncapse conducted an extensive study of more than 4,300 consumers across North America.

Methodology
The comScore 2010 Mobile Year in Review report utilizes data from products within the comScore mobile suite
of services including comScore MobiLens and GSMA Mobile Media Metrics (MMM).
comScore MobiLens
The foundation of our MobiLens service is the continuous collection of consumer behaviour information. Using
proprietary data collection methods, we survey nationally representative samples of mobile subscribers aged
13+. Survey fieldwork is conducted monthly and to ensure demographic representation. Recruitment quotas
are set based on each country’s census demographic and geographic profiles for age and gender. The
resulting MobiLens survey panels are nationally representative samples of mobile subscribers substantial
enough to provide projected data for sub-segments as small as 1% of mobile subscribers aged 13 years of age
and higher. The MobiLens’ sampling and survey methods undergo extensive analysis and market validation
including comparisons to known network operator market shares, leading handset model shares, downloading
activity, and other usage metrics. For 2010, the following represent the estimated monthly survey completes by
market utilized for this report.
• U.S.: 10,000 mobile phone owners
• UK, Germany and Japan: 5,000 mobile phone owners
• France, Spain and Italy: 4,000 mobile phone owners

2010 was a year of undeniable progress in the mobile arena. A wide variety of increasingly advanced
devices were introduced to the market, mobile content options continued to increase with an ever-growing
library of applications paired with improvements to the mobile browsing experience, while the definition of
the word “mobile” evolved with the introduction of tablet devices such as the iPad. Major milestones in
mobile were crossed during the year both in the U.S. and EU5 (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain)
markets. comScore also began reporting data on the Japanese market beginning in mid-2010 so year
over year trends are not available, However, an in-depth look at the Japanese market is included in the
‘Spotlight’ section, and relevant cross-market comparisons are made throughout based on activity in the
back half of the year.
In December 2010, nearly 47 percent of mobile subscribers in the U.S. were mobile media users
(browsed the mobile web, accessed applications, downloaded content or accessed the mobile Internet via
SMS) up 7.6 percentage points from the previous year. The growth in mobile media usage is largely
attributable to the growth in smartphone adoption, 3G/4G device ownership and the increasing ubiquity of
unlimited data plans, all of which facilitate the consumption of mobile media. From December 2009 to
December 2010, the percentage of mobile phone subscribers with unlimited data plans increased from
21.3 percent to 29.0 percent, with more phones now requiring an unlimited data plan subscription at the
time of purchase. During the same period, smartphone ownership increased from 16.8 percent to 27.0
percent, while 3G/4G phone ownership reached 51 percent in December 2010.

Key Differences in Mobile Media Enablers in U.S. and EU5
While Europe was “in the lead” in the mobile race with their early and widespread adoption of text
messaging and higher smartphone p
d penetration compared to the U.S., the U.S. has eclipsed Europe in
terms of the penetration of mobile media with 47 percent of the American mobile audiences using
connected media, compared to 34 percent of Europeans.

In terms of total smartphone subscribers in the seven individual markets analyzed in this study, the U.S.
led with 63.2 million smartphone subscribers in December. When measured as a unit, the EU5 had more
than 72.6 million smartphone subscribers (led by Italy and the UK, each with more than 16 million
smartphone subscribers), 15 percent greater than the U.S. in December 2010. However, just a year ago
EU5 was 25 percent larger than the U.S., demonstrating the rapid adoption in the U.S. over the past year.

2010 Mobile Device Landscape
Device Enhancements Pave the Way for Improved Mobile User Experience
Throughout 2010 device technology has continued to improve rapidly, providing consumers with an
increasing amount of technological features to utilize during their mobile experience. As mobile phone
owners trade up to new handsets, they’re finding devices that support an array of powerful features.
Handsets increasingly have large screens for improved content experiences, video recording capabilities,
hardware and software-based QWERTY keyboards, and touch screens, all adding value to the mobile
based keyboards,
user experience.
One of the most important trends has been the penetration of devices that have full web browsing
penetration w
capabilities, supporting HTML in addition to legacy mobile standards such as WAP. Nearly half (48
percent) of U.S. phone owners can browse the full web while 61 percent of EU5 phone owners have this
one

illustrating the mobile industry’s embrace of the web, up 46 percent in the U.S. and up 28 percent in the

Smartphones Take Center Stage Among Top Devices of 2010
Nearly each month consumers face an ever-growing number of devices to consider when making their
mobile phone purchase. Consumers can choose from some of the most basic options all the way to the
top of the line technologically advanced options, and everything in between. In 2010, more and more
smartphone devices were introduced in both the U.S. and European markets and it’s no surprise to see
that smartphones rank as some of the top acquired devices of the past year.
In the U.S., 4 of the top 5 acquired devices in 2010 were smartphones, while 3 of the top 5 in Europe are
smartphones, demonstrating the importance of smartphones for consumers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Apple’s success is clearly demonstrated as the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 hold the top two slots in both
markets.
The rise of Android is demonstrated in the Motorola Droid’s appearance as #5 on the list in the United
States. While Android gained significant share in 2010, passing Apple in terms of installed base, this user
base is distributed across multiple devices from multiple manufacturers. In the U.S. there were 68
different Android handset variants—a challenge for the Android platform in 2011 will be building and
maintaining platform and ecosystem coherence across multiple versions of the operating system, OEM-
specific software (original equipment manufacturer), and multiple device form factors.

Top Purchase Considerations for Consumers in Market for Mobile Device
With continually increasing competition, it’s vital for OEMs, operating systems, and carriers to understand
what is driving consumers’ mobile purchase decisions. In both the U.S. and UK, new phone purchasers
were primarily concerned about network quality and the cost of their monthly service and phone.
The top consideration for device purchasers was network quality. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being
most important, consumers in the U.S. and UK scored the importance of network quality 7.9. Network
quality is also tied to the importance of network operator brand which is also in the top 5 criteria for
consumer purchase consideration (7.0 in the U.S. and 6.7 in the UK).

The other main concern for purchasers was price with cost of monthly service, price of phone and cost of
data plan all ranking in the top 5 purchase factors for consumers in both the U.S. and UK. Cost of data
plan appearing among the top 5 demonstrates that new phone purchasers are clearly looking at their
phones as a mobile media device and considering the price that comes with connecting.

Smartphone Purchases Rank Different Criteria as Important
While smartphone purchasers’ top consideration—like the rest of the market—is network quality, the
second most important consideration is phone operating system (OS). It was only a couple years ago
where just technology geeks had an awareness of “mobile operating system,” but today smartphone
purchasers rate this factor an 8 in importance on a 10 point scale.
When comparing purchase factors between total market purchasers and smartphone-specific purchasers,
there are factors that are clearly more important to smartphone purchasers. Smartphone owners show
the most disparity with the total market in the importance of mobile operating system, selection of apps,
multimedia and social networking features. Smartphone purchasers are increasingly sophisticated
consumers who are looking not just for a phone, but for a device that is part of a larger ecosystem that
provides a complete mobile media experience, including apps, music, and video.

OEM Share by Market
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) market share continues to be an important and often fluctuating
part of the mobile ecosystem. In the U.S. Samsung unseated last year’s OEM leader, Motorola, to rank as
the top OEM provider with 24.8 percent of devices owned by mobile subscribers in December 2010, up
3.6 percentage points from the previous year. LG had the second largest share of the handset market
with 20.9 percent (declining 1.0 percentage points versus the previous year), followed by Motorola with
16.7 percent (down 6.7 percentage points) and RIM with 8.5 percent (up 1.5 percentage points). Apple
captured 6.8 percent of the OEM market, up from 4.3 percent share the previous year, as the introduction
of the iPhone 4 bolstered its growth.

Smartphone User Demographics Vary by Market
The demographic profiles of smartphone users reveal certain differences across markets. In Europe,
where the smartphone market is slightly more developed, the demographics skew older, while in the US,
the reverse is true. In Europe, those 55 and older represent 18.1 percent of the market as compared to

Smartphone Operating System Market Share
The U.S. and European smartphone markets also exhibit differences in penetration for the various
operating systems (OS). The U.S. market is currently led by RIM, which owns 31.6 percent market share,
but both Android (28.7 percent) and Apple (25.0 percent) are quickly gaining ground. Android was the
biggest gainer in share during the last year, growing from 5.2 percent in December 2009 to 28.7 percent
in December 2010 to launch itself into the #2 position. Android’s rapid adoption was largely attributable to
the proliferation of new devices across carriers and OEMs that used the platform. Apple’s platform
remained mostly steady in terms of market share in 2010, but the introduction of Verizon as an iPhone
carrier in early 2011 promises to give Apple a boost in the coming year.

Mobile Media Usage More Common in U.S. than Europe
Throughout the past year, mobile media adoption has continued to grow, as consumers are increasingly
turning to their mobiles for many other uses beyond just talking or even texting. Since December 2009 the
number of mobile media users has grown significantly in the U.S. as well as across the EU5. 109 million
U.S. mobile subscribers (46.7 percent of the total audience) accessed mobile media (browsed, accessed
applications or downloaded content or accessed the mobile Internet via SMS) in December 2010, up 7.6
percentage points versus year ago. Europeans displayed a similar adoption rate with 41.1 percent of
mobile users accessing mobile media in December 2010 compared to just 35.3 percent in December

How Today’s Mobile Consumers Access Content
Two ways for mobile media users to access content are to browse through the mobile web or to access
content through applications. Even though applications received much more attention by the media
t
throughout 2010, our analysis in the U.S. and the EU5 region showed that by a small margin, application
U
usage is still second to browser usage when it comes to the mobile web. For example 36 percent of
mobile using Americans and 29 p

Further analysis of browser use and application access shows that the two activities are not mutually
exclusive. In fact, most users that utilize one method use the other. In the U.S., 82 percent of app users
also use their browser, while 78 percent of browser users also utilize apps. Only 6 percent of app users
don’t utilize their browser, while 8 percent of browser users don’t utilize apps. In Europe, 71 percent of
mobile browser users also use apps, while 73 percent of app users also use their browser. Just 7 percent
of app users in Europe don’t browser, while 8 percent of browser users don’t utilize apps. Instead of the
browser vs. app question being an ‘either or’ proposition, the mobile web audience has quickly come to
expect and utilize both browsing and apps as an integral parts of the mobile web experience.
Fastest Growing Content Categories – Social Networking and Retail on the Rise
Many factors, like smartphone adoption and unlimited data plans, are driving content consumption on
mobile devices across geographies. The below graph shows the content categories in the U.S. and
Europe that grew the fastest since December 2009.
Social Networking was the fastest growing category among U.S. subscribers and reached 57.9 million

Spotlight on Japan
In mid-2010, comScore began reporting on mobile usage in Japan, the first market in Asia where
comScore has introduced its MobiLens service. The Japan market is perhaps one of the most mature and
sophisticated mobile markets in the world with mobile audiences accustomed to using mobile media
regularly.
Japan’s mobile audience reached nearly 100 million mobile users in December 2010, with more than 75
percent of those subscribers using connected media, far surpassing the U.S. and European countries in
this measure.

A demographic analysis of mobile media users across markets showed that mobile media consumption
was more balanced across age segments in Japan when compared to the U.S. and Europe indicating a
high maturation level in Japan. Across all three geographies, mobile users age 18-24 showed the highest
propensity for mobile media usage. In the U.S. 18-24 year olds were 55 percent more likely to access
mobile media than an average mobile user, while Europeans in this age segment were 52 percent more
likely to do so and Japanese were 21 percent more likely. Older age segments were the least likely to
access mobile media with Americans 55+ showing the least likelihood of mobile media connection with an
index of 43.
The U.S. and Europe also showed greater gender disparity among mobile media audiences compared to
Japan where usage was equally likely for both male and female mobile subscribers. In the U.S., females
were 4 percent less likely to be mobile media users, while in Europe females were 15 percent less likely.

Top Mobile Activities by Market
An analysis of the top mobile activities across the U.S., Europe and Japan revealed varying degrees of
U.S.,
mobile usage across activities. In many cases, mobile users in Japan displayed the strongest propensity
for mobile media usage across categories. More than half of Japanese mobile subscribers used their
browser in December 2010 (55.4 percent) and accessed applications (53.3 percent), far surpassing the
er
U.S. and Europe. Japanese users were also the most likely to utilize their device to take photos with
nearly 63 percent doing so in December.
European mobile subscribers were the heaviest texters (82.7 percent), while Japanese were the lightest
(41.6 percent), respectively. Low text messaging in Japan is in part due to heavy usage of email (57.1
percent of mobile subscribers), a function to which they have been accustomed as a standard capability
,
on their mobile devices for many years.
U.S. mobile users were most likely to access s
ers social networking sites or blogs on their mobile at 24.7

Social Media Use Continues to Grow on Mobile Devices
Social networking was among the fastest growing activities for mobile users since December 2009. Over
the last year the number of mobile users that accessed a social networking site at least once a month via
their mobile device increased by 56 percent to nearly 58 million users in the U.S. The growth was even
stronger in Europe, with a 75-percent increase in the number of users over the last year to 42 million in
December 2010.
Among smartphone users, social networking usage was even more pronounced. In December 2010, 57.3
percent of smartphone users in the U.S. (36.2 million users) accessed social networking sites or blogs at
least once during the month, an increase of 11.2 percentage points versus the previous year. European
usage also showed impressive growth with 37.8 percent of smartphone users accessing social
networking sites or blogs in the month (27.5 million users), up 13.1 percentage points from last year.

Mobile Increasingly Embedded in Daily Life
While the total mobile media audience increased substantially in 2010 (+20 percent in the U.S., +19
percent in EU5) and all signs suggest it will continue to do so, one of the most important shifts has been
the increase in the frequency with which mobile phone owners use their devices to connect to content
and peers.
Across three key categories (email usage, news and information access, and social networking) the
largest observed increases were in mobile users who access these services almost daily, compared to
weekly or once during the month. Social networking especially saw high growth, with daily users
increasing 104 percent in the EU5 and 80 percent in the U.S. For many people, mobile media
consumption has rapidly moved from an occasional activity, perhaps even a novelty, to an essential
service they depend on every day while at home, work or on the move.

Multi-Screen Consumption – How Do Consumer Patterns Vary by Device
As the number of devices continues to proliferate, one very interesting dynamic with important
implications for the digital ecosystem is the pattern of consumption across devices during the course of a
day. As an example, comScore conducted an analysis over a 24-hour period in the U.S. on online
newspaper readers’ consumption habits revealed some interesting insights on the synergies across
devices – PC, smartphone and iPad. Overall PC viewing accounted for 97 percent of all online
newspaper views during the 24 hour period, while smartphones accounted for 2 percent and the iPad
accounted for less than 1 percent. When looking at how Americans utilized these devices differently
throughout the day to consume news, it was observed that morning hours saw similar relative readership
across all three devices. While in the afternoon, online newspaper readership peaked on PC and while at
night iPad readers consumed more news on the device than during the day.

“Freemium” Model Gains Ground for Games and Apps
With hundreds of thousands of apps available for mobile consumers to choose from, most publishers are
moving toward a free app, ad-supported model or a “freemium” mix of ad-supported and paid content.
The shift is evident in the general app ecosystem and in particular in the mobile games environment.
Games are currently the largest app content category and in the past year the number of people in the
U.S. that have downloaded games to their mobile phone has increased by 52 percent. At the end of 2009
the number of people downloading games for free threatened to eclipse the number of those who paid a
fee for a game. In early 2010 the crossover point was reached and accelerated throughout the year. By
December 2010, only 37 percent of those that downloaded a game paid a fee for it, a decline of 17
percentage points from the previous year. This change in behavior speaks to a larger trend in the mobile
app community where the real value of application content is not necessarily in a transaction to acquire
the app, but in the potential advertising revenue this type of targeted reach could bring.

Mobile Advertising Continues to Grow, Foundation for Advertising Economy in Place
Although mobile advertising is still in its infancy compared to the PC Internet environment, advertising
across mobile content is continuing to grow as more brands are recognizing the vast reach of this
platform. When looking at the number of products advertised across the mobile landscape, the number of
products is growing in step with the number of people using their mobile browser. In the U.S., the number
of products advertised via mobile content has increased to more than 1,000 in September 2010, growing
nearly 150 percent in the past two years. This represents the first stage in the maturation of the mobile
advertising industry, but there is a need for consistent metrics and simplified trading exchanges to
accelerate this growth. The fragmented nature of mobile creates a challenging environment for the
uniform deployment of ads and their measurement across platforms, devices and technologies. For
mobile advertising to ramp up to its full potential, the industry must be armed with consistent metrics that
advertisers and publishers can agree on to create a robust mobile ad economy.

Looking Ahead to 2011
2011 Set to be a Transformative Year for Mobile
2010 was a very exciting year for everyone working in the mobile industry and for all marketers who are
just ‘getting into’ mobile marketing and advertising. As with many industries there is constant change,
lead by strategic partnerships such as Microsoft and Nokia and the 2011 iPhone/Verizon deal, through
the introduction of new devices to the market, including tablets, e-readers and increasingly sophisticated
smartphones, and through new device capabilities. There is one element though that prevails through this
rapidly evolving market and that is the importance of your consumer. For all brands operating in the
mobile space, whether it be device manufacturers, operating systems, carriers or mobile content
developers, knowing how consumers are interacting with mobile – the who, where, when, why and how –
will be critical in this increasingly competitive market.
Mobile Media: In 2010 ‘mobile media’ has been one of the most talked about topics in the industry and
we can expect that in 2011 at least half of all mobile users will have access to mobile media, which will
likely be driven by the increased adoption of smartphones. The way audiences consume media is
drastically changing and so too must marketing strategies. Identifying the synergies that exist between
the touch points – traditional PC Internet, mobile media (via app and browser), tablets, etc. – and
understanding how consumers use these devices to fulfill different needs and convenience levels will be
critically important. No technology exists in isolation; this is true now more than ever before. The
PAGE 29
30. The comScore 2010 Mobile Year in Review FEBRUARY 2011
proliferation of mobile devices including more sophisticated smartphones, iPads and tablets is likely to get
more interesting in 2011 and beyond, as more and more people carry multiple devices. On one hand,
opportunities to reach consumers with digital media and advertising continue to grow which represents a
large and growing opportunity for mobile, but as the number of devices owned by a given consumer
continues to increase, the opportunity to reach them on any given device becomes more fragmented.
This indicates that cross platform planning will grow in importance (TV, web, mobile) but that planning
across devices within the mobile space itself will become more complex.
Mobile Marketing/Advertising: While still in its infancy, mobile advertising will become an increasingly
important component of the mobile landscape in 2011. The growing number of mobile media users and
the rise in daily usage opens a large opportunity for advertisers. As more and more eyeballs expand their
consumption habits to include on-the-go content, the industry is continuing to seek ways to monetize this
channel via mobile advertising. There are many layers to mobile marketing, from banner advertising to in-
app ads, as well as targeted or location-based services, such as SMS or push notifications. But in order
to establish the mobile channel as a legitimate advertising medium, all parties require access to
transparent measurement of the mobile ecosystem.
Not surprisingly, accurately measuring this new audience has proven extremely challenging as many of
the tried and tested approaches used to measure the PC Internet are not viable or must be adapted to
particularities of a complex ecosystem. Those who might have thought that the mobile world would grow
simpler over time have been wrong – it’s only become more complicated. But understanding how to
meet these measurement challenges will become increasingly important, not just to measure “mobile” but
also to measure a digital world that is trending away from the open and homogenous technologies of the
Internet and toward a plethora of tailored, often closed devices connecting over proprietary networks and
closed content distribution systems.
M-Commerce: One can expect to see continued growth in the use of mobile devices to obtain real-time
price and product information in support of an intended in-store buying decision and the likelihood that the
information obtained will drive some of that buying activity to actually occur online. In essence, it is very
possible that the use of mobile devices could accelerate the shift of consumer spending from offline to
online. As such, multi-channel retailers need to carefully assess the buying activity of their in-store
customers and devise strategies to ensure that they maintain their loyalty if these customers shift some of
their buying requirements from offline to online as a result of the use of mobile devices.

Although in its infancy in the U.S. and European markets, mobile wallet capabilities, using mobile phones
in place of debit or credit cards for in-person purchases, are beginning to come onto the scene. For
instance in early 2011, Starbucks announced that customers in thousands of locations can now pay for
items with their phones via an application that can be scanned across a reader at check out. Expect more
announcements such as this to occur in the next year as brands begin to offer this type of mobile
payment option. As we have seen in Japan, one of the most mature mobile wallet markets, nearly 10
percent of its mobile population uses this capability across a variety of transaction locations; perhaps
offering a glimpse into the future potential of mobile wallet payments in the U.S. and Europe.
During the past year, technology improvements, device innovations and growing mobile media
consumption have laid the foundation for the development of a strong mobile ecosystem. The challenge
for marketers and brands will be how to successfully navigate through one of the most complex and
rapidly evolving mediums the world has ever seen. The next year should be one of the most exciting in
mobile history. Every marketer and consumer should be looking forward to a year of new milestones
marked by the increasing ubiquity of mobile in our digital lives.
