You are a perfect example of the typical smartphone user - using it for what it can do. The amount of businesses using mobile-friendly sites is still very small. The ability for a business to capitalize on that is very great. Congratulations on your first smart phone. You are a perfect example of the typical smartphone user – using it for what it can do.

We have the technology, but not everyone has jumped on board yet. that is, thankfully changing fast. the businesses that see that vision earlier will reap the rewards.

For the business owners, it's just as great, because they can be on the cutting edge of the competition. It's a true win/win market situation.

Any restaurant that does not have a text version of its menu is really missing out. They would also benefit greatly by getting their customers cell phone numbers and texting the daily dinner specials or evening drink specials. Texting a lunch special about an hour before lunchtime will get a lot of extra business. Absolutely! Any restaurant that does not have a text version of its menu is really missing out.

I personally just got my first smartphone about 2 months ago and was surprised how quickly I started using it to do some of the same things that I would have used my computer for. I also noticed right away that I was not finding tons of mobile friendly sites. Ed.

I search for local businesses all the time on my iPhone, in fact probably 99% of those searches are done on my phone. If I hit a page that isn't optimized for my mobile browser, I'll go back and check some of the alternatives every single time. If any of the others are mobile-friendly, it's very rare that I'll go back to the first one. I can vouch for this as a consumer.

You are so right about people checking the internet on their smartphones instead of the Yellow Pages these days. Everywhere I go so many people are glued to their iphones! I think a mobile version of your website is essential and the earlier you get one the better to get ahead of the crowd. Very useful information, thanks.
