Prediction
Smartphones, were boldly predicted to out-ship the combined global market of laptop, desktop, and notebook computers in 2012.
They did so in the last quarter of 2010
Smart Phones
13% of total global handsets are smartphones, but they make up 78% of total handset traffic - Cisco
1% increase in Smartphones increases the data usage by 17% - Bharti
Smart Phones Users
35% browse the mobile internet at least daily, versus only 4% of feature phone owners
31% have accessed social networks using their mobile browser, compared to only 7% of feature phone users
70% have accessed email on their mobile device, versus only 12% of feature phone users.
What’s happened in 2010!
In 2010, visitors to web-based email sites declined 6%, but visitors accessing email with their mobile
devices grew by 36%
Traffic to mobile websites grew 600% after tripling between 2009 and 2010
50% of the Tweeps use a mobile device
1/3 of Facebook users access it via mobile and they are twice as active as their desktop counterparts
7% of the mobile Yelp users are responsible for 35% of all their searches
What’s happening Now !
What’s happening Now !
200m videos are being watches on YouTube from mobile devices everyday
30% of the 10m views of the ‘Kolavari di’ were from mobile
What are these guys doing on mobile ?
Where are they accessing it ?
80% during miscellaneous downtime throughout the day
74% while waiting in lines
69% while shopping
64% at work
62% while watching TV (a different study claims 84%)
47% during their commute
When are they accessing it ?
User segmentation !
α) Repetitive now Checking for the same piece of information over and over
again.
β) Bored now Who have time on their hands and are a lot more like casual
Web surfers
γ) Urgent now They request to find something specific fast
In a nutshell
“Desktop behavior is ‘diving’ while mobile is
‘snorkeling’
- Rachel Hinman (Nokia)
2 Things…
Local
50% of the searches done on mobile are local
35% were within 1mile of the property
- Priceline
Urgent
Wait time is as low as 6 seconds
- HFI
82% of the users booked for same day
- Priceline
