Hi Everybody,
The mobile web is a fascinating space that is still in its infancy. If the current capabilities of mobile devices are a sign of things to come, I can only imagine what will be possible five years from now.

Here are 10 reasons I think that anyone with an online presence should establish a mobile presence separate from your website :

1. Google has a separate index for mobile content

2. Your regular website is not going to cut it

3. Users average 13 hours online per week, up from 7 in 2002

4. Mobile web will overtake the desktop within 5 years

5. $1.6 billion purchased from mobile devices in 2009

6. 93% of U.S. adults own a cell phone

7. 5% of the top 500 online retailers have a mobile website/iPhone app

8. Mobile advertising spending will surpass $6.5 billion in 2012
