With all the research studies swirling about mobile commerce these days, there’s no shortage of numbers.
Taken together, some of these numbers can point to the direction of the changes in consumer behaviors as well as the overall scope of various aspects of the marketplace.
As a follow to looking at an aggregation of the percentages around mobile, as I wrote about here yesterday (Stats, Stats & Stats: Mobile by the Percentages), I thought it might also be interesting to see some of the actual numbers.
So here’s my compilation of various numbers around mobile, in ascending order and all from recent research, with the source at the end of each.
