Anybody here ever shop form your phone?

Snap it, google products search.

a lot of the 'independent' apps are powered by google product as well. Nice way to upsell clients!

I have bought through Ebay alot over the last year or so through the app on my iphone, but nothing other than that

Was in the doctors waiting room today reading a book on my iPad, the book mentioned another book so I searched for it, snagged it at amazon and went back to reading my book.

True story.

Developing countries have deep phone use but scant access to browsers so they will jump straight to mobile purchasing

and again- appears to be the topic du jour.... http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/6902-one-in-ten-brits-will-do-xmas-shopping-on-mobile?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter

This states 10% of brits will be buying presents via mobile, which conflicts slightly with another report based on the same Tescos study I read which said 7% of tesco online purchases were via mobile and based the rest of the stats off that, I haven't seen the actual Tesco's report anywhere yet. However, 7 or 10% is still high enough to think about.

Argos and Tesco Direct may be bigger winners than, say, John Lewis, in the mobile shopping race though. I would also love to see some stats on value of products purchased, how people arrived at the site and time/location of usage.....

As it has been for, what?, the last 3 years now?  hhh

But all here agree, I think, that it's never been a question of 'if' --just 'when.'

Debbie says 10% this year in UK. At least that, probably higher, in Scandinavia.

Yes, I've purchased from Amazon a few times, was really easy thanks to stored credit card details and addresses.
