    With average orders being over $100 what are people buying that they would use a tablet or phone for instead of a desktop?

    IPad was the #1 purchase on the IPhone & the IPhone was the #1 purchase on the IPad.

    Android phones are obviously money-saving devices!

    If you can afford an iPhone 4Gs 64GB (€898.99 in my country, no contract) or an iPad 2 Wi-Fi 64GB ( €719.00), it's evident you have plenty more to spend online.

    How is "90% of all mobile purchases" not "dominating mobile shopping"? It's exactly "dominating the market of people with money to burn", that's what is claimed and no more.

    The fact that you somehow read it as "dominating mobile devices market share" or the likes, is your own comprehension problem.
