The problem became more dense after the invasion of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on the market.

In order to succeed in this dynamic market, retailers and brands must ensure they are addressing relevance throughout the channels where people are shopping, ensuring a seamless experience across the interplay of device, context and consumer behavior.”

The study also depicts that the mobile traffic has been tremendously increasing due to share of large number of commerce page. The shopping session on the mobile devices has been estimated to more than 15%.

On weekends, especially Saturday and Sunday, the online shopping through the mobile jumps at the notch only to reach 17%.
