If you bought something on a phone recently, chances are good, you knew exactly what you wanted.
A study by Adobe, shows that people just don't browse on their phones.
The 2016 Adobe mobile retail report showed that while people are buying on mobile 65 percent more often from last year, consumers are three times more likely to complete a purchase on a PC than a phone. Desktop and laptop computers bring in 75 percent of retailers' online sales in 2016, versus just 16 percent from phones, the report said.
By 2018, everyone will buy everything on phones, the study said. But, right now it is all PCs.
Given the love of people for their phones, why don't they shop on them?
Too hard. Too annoying. Screens are tiny. Keyboards tiny and clumsy.
But on the good side, it has become easier to pay with such services such as Apple Pay, PayPal, Android Pay, Mastercard's Masterpass and Visa Checkout. In 2016 on Black Friday sales from phones and tablets hit $1 billion for the first time, according to CNet.com
