Mobile porn and mobile video are looking good and shows a lot of promise. Mobile e-commerce is another story. Here's a great article on why that is...

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives...struggling.php

However, not all mobile-dependent markets are doing well. Mobile e-commerce, for example, is struggling. Despite the massive numbers of mobile users, those using their phones to make purchases are still few and far between...at least here in the U.S. According to new data from eMarketer, more than 70 million U.S. mobile phone users will access the internet from their devices this year, but the m-commerce market remains immature. In an April 2009 survey by RIS News, privacy and security concerns are still at the forefront of both shoppers' and retailers' minds. This had led companies to drag their feet when it comes to introducing their mobile commerce plans. Says Jeffrey Grau, eMarketer senior analyst, "most retailers are either standing on the sidelines or in the midst of planning their mobile commerce strategy."

Another major problem is the lack of standardization in the mobile space. With the number of platforms now available, retailers find building a plethora of mobile applications not worth the effort. As InfoWorld recently noted, the smartphone market has become a "tower of Babel for developers." This means that mobile retailers have to carefully pick-and-choose the platforms they plan to support in order to see reasonable returns on their investments in this space. Despite the slow growth, it appears that m-commerce could be successful if only there were enough mobile apps and shopping opportunities out there.

Keep in mind they are reffering to the US market. Mobile is still doing great here in europe - music, tickets and even parking spots. People spend a lot of money on getting their services pluged in podcasts of popular radioshows. People pay lots of money for that, because it REALLY works. People buy stuff, order tickets or play online while.

People just need to understand how it works and how people use it.

One of the things that I see as the biggest holdup for US users, is the inability to use the phone directly as micropayment.
