Why Businesses Must Go Mobile
Today life is mobile
The time people spend in front of their computers is decreasing. They rush through busy lives running from one place to the next, catching up on personal relationships, interests and chores while stuck in traffic or standing in a queue – with the help of their mobile devices.
The cell phone, in particular the smartphone, is swiftly becoming a universal command center for our life. A survey of 2000 mobile sites conducted for this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and searching for patterns in mobile Internet use, reported that 87% of visitors access the mobile Internet more than once, and half of them up to 5 times a day. It also found that 70% of mobile Internet use takes place in the home – an intriguing fact proving that people would much rather reach for their mobile device than sit down in front of a computer.

Why is that?
Well, it’s mainly because mobile apps are more focused and purposeful, their interface is highly optimized for specific tasks. And also because with mobile apps people have fun.
