Tablets Are the Future of E-Commerce, Study Finds

According to a new study by Monetate, tablets may just be the future of e-commerce, more so than mobile or PCs, says Blair Lyon, vice president of marketing at Monetate. The study, which was released June 29, appeared in Monetate's Q1 E-Commerce Quarterly report. The study found that during the first quarter of last year, just 1.66 percent of all website visits came from tablets. During the second quarter of 2011, that percentage rose to 6.52 percent.
