.mobi Survey says 75% of mobile users will use SEARCH

Interesting stats.

1. Mobile users are young 20-29
2. They will use traditional search engines, not the carriers' "walled garden"
3. 84% expect the sites to be dedicated to mobile use.

I know someone will point out that there is no direct mention of .mobi, but this is important information to those of us registering and developing .mobi's

It is clear that the future is mobile and the young users are quite proficient at keypad entry.

I posted on this a week or so ago, probably the same news source. Anyway, I think it is great news for .mobi, especially for keyword domains.

Mobile users are young now, but later they will be all ages.

Not all mobile users are young. I think that you will be surprised at the number of smartphone users that use the data and the Net.
