Stats, Stats, & Stats: Mobile by the Percentages

Along with the massive growth of mobile has come an equally large amount of research tracking and measuring its rise, with many benchmarks along the way.

 We receive mobile commerce research, studies and reports almost daily, from a wide range of sources.

Some come from independent research companies, some come from technology suppliers and some come from various combinations.

 I thought it might be interesting to compile in one place an aggregate set of data points, at least from a percentage standpoint, to see a broader snapshot of the state of mobile today.

So here’s my compilation of various percentages around mobile, all from recent research, with the research source at the end of each.
