Although online shoppers still use stationary desktop computers for<br />
half of their purchases, only 30 per cent of the pre-purchase “traffic”<br />
takes place there. Smartphones are becoming the most important<br />
devices: they are used to search for the object of choice, to compare<br />
prices etc. and in more than a third of cases (38 per cent) to actually<br />
complete the purchase. When it comes to shopping, smartphone<br />
users are overtaking tablet users, and apps are leaving mobile<br />
optimised pages behind.
