The argument of whether mobile phones will overtake PC's has begun to become more of a "when" question, than an "if". The technology within mobile phones increases continually, therefore so will the functions that are able to be performed on the phones. On my phone I have an Ebay app, where I can search for items right from my phone. There is no need to take the time to log onto my computer, so why would I use anything other than my smartphone?
The true answer to the "when" factor is reliant upon the organizations that provide the services. Not all suppliers have the capabilities for consumers to purchase goods from their smartphones. But, eventually they will be forced to conform to this or else they will lose market share. So, it is only a matter of time until smartphones totally dominate the e-commerce industry.
Personally, although I do have the app on my phone I would rather go onto my PC to do my shopping. The screen is larger, and I can navigate more quickly than I can on my smartphone. As smartphones increase in size and quality I could foresee a change in my preferred mode of online shopping.
How long will it be before people no longer have PC's, and only have smartphones?
