Go mobile – It’s the future!

According to Gartner (a respected technology forecaster) by 2013 mobile phones will overtake PC’s as the most commonly used device to access the Internet worldwide.  In the UK it is predicted as being as early as 2012.  Smartphone sales increased 78% year on year in October 2010 with devices such as the Apple iPhone and RIM Blackberry leading the way.  Add to that the iPad and Android tablets that trend is set to continue.  One last statistic, Google showed a 130% year on year increase in (Q3 2010) in the volume of mobile searches!

So, is your website ready to meet this new challenge?  Amazingly considering this growth many websites do not support the small form factor of a smartphone and are not optimized for use on a small screen or make use of the capabilities of the phones.  Gartner have stated that this will become a market barrier and therefore mean that potential customers could be turned off by your site.
