Mobile Websites
Mobile usage has been on the rise since the release of the apple iPhone. Since then mobile browsing has gone up tremendously.
According[i] to the graph on the left, we can see that in mid 2009 mobile browsing began to sharply rise. Not just with the iPhone, but also with the Android.
After the release of the iPhone, Google took a turn at mobile phone / mobile OS development. The Android phone / browser have gained momentum as well. As of July, 2011 the mobile OS share of the web browsing market has grown to over 5% of the total market. This is huge! No more is the internet confined to a desktop computer or even a laptop. We can now browse from a cell phone, smart phone, tablet pc and iPad.

It should also be mentioned that between the months of June and July of 2011, the iPad has exploded from .92% of market share to 1.0%. A .08% market share for the entire browser market is a strong indicator that this and other mobile browsers will continue to rise over the coming years.
According to Net Market Share[ii], over the course of 11 months we have seen mobile browsers double from 2.60% to 5.02%. Though Apple© has not embraced the ability to use Adobe Flash® technology as Google has, with the new advances in HTML5® and CSS3®, we are able to deliver the same type of content as a desktop browser. The only difference is the customer can take the Internet and your site with them.

According to a Gartner© report that was released in 2010, at the current rate we are going with mobile devices, by the year 2013 mobile devices and mobile browsers will overtake desktop browsing.[iii]
“According to Gartner’s PC installed base forecast, the total number of PCs in use will reach 1.78 billion units in 2013. By 2013, the combined installed base of smartphones and browser-equipped enhanced phones will exceed 1.82 billion units and will be greater than the installed base for PCs thereafter.”
Large corporations have seen this new wave of technology and they are embracing it, not fighting it. Shouldn’t you want the same for your business?
