Big Internet Retailers Expecting Mobile To Rise To Half Of Total Sales In Next Few Years (Skift)
Expedia, Fandango and eBay are among online retailers benefiting from surging mobile sales, as on-the-go consumers increasingly use wireless devices to book hotels and buy event tickets. Expedia may see U.S. hotel purchases via handheld devices taking up half its total within two years. Fandango said 30% of movie tickets it sold this summer were through smartphones and tablets. And eBay says more than half its sales could come from mobile but "it?s probably more than two, but less than 10 years away." While mobile computing has been on the rise, on-the-go transactions account for only a sliver of e-commerce sales, or about 7.6% last year according to ABI Research.

Social Gamers Continue Ditching Desktops For Mobile (Gamasutra)
Mounting evidence points to mobile devices replacing social networks as the dominant platform for casual games, a trend underlined by audiences for the top Facebook titles shrinking rapidly. In August, most of the top titles from major social game publishers like Zynga, Electronic Arts, and Disney / Playdom saw their daily active user numbers suffer double-digit declines month-to-month. Meanwhile, free-to-play titles on smartphones and tablets had their most dominant month yet. Across the three top 20 grossing games lists for iOS and Android, 56 out of the 60 titles use the free-to-play model. "We believe that over the last several months, trends in the casual digital gaming space have swung decisively towards mobile and away from PC-based social gaming," says Cowen and Company analyst Doug Cruetz.

On the one side, you have Facebook drumming up a consortium of heavy hitters (Mozilla, Microsoft, Verizon, Samsung and around 25 other companies) to work within a W3C community group establishing benchmarks for the industry. On the other side, you have Yahoo and Google, which are not participating in the community?s mobile web love-fest, but which have an incredible amount of weight to throw around in this arena. Official statements from all of these companies show the same thing: They believe in the power and potential of the mobile web to flourish and eventually become more prevalent than native platforms. So who are these players, what are they trying to accomplish, and why aren?t they all working together?
