Based on recent data, ATGStores agrees with estimates that more than 50% of US mobile users are expected to own and operate a Smartphone by the end of 2011* (Nielson, 2010), and more users worldwide will connect to the internet via mobile phone versus a computer by 2013* (Gartner, 2010).

In 2011, ATGStores' data supports the conclusions. President/CEO Gary Rubens says, "We have seen a 396% spike in ATGStores' keyword searches coming from mobile devices since August, 2010 and more than 10% of total search traffic for all ATGStores' websites are from mobile devices; a 32% increase from the same period last year."
