Research and Markets: Mobile POS: Reaching Escape Velocity - All Systems Go

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/csgr9g/mobile_pos) has announced the addition of the "Mobile POS: Reaching Escape Velocity - All Systems Go" report to their offering.

Mobile in retail is now a $7.8 Billion business worldwide and one that continues to grow rapidly

In fact, it is the single fastest moving trend in retail since Internet was added to the stores. Mobile and the buzz about Mobile in Retail has been increasing ever since Apple (News - Alert) began using it in their stores. Of the various store functions that can be performed using Mobile technology, one of the most interesting is that of Mobile POS. This report looks at the current state of Mobile POS in North America, the adoption rates of the various retail verticals, and the shipment and installed base details by type of device (Rugged Handheld, Non-Rugged Handheld, and Tablets).

We also provide forecasts for shipments and installed base of these devices, as well as an estimate of the impact that these devices will have on the use of traditional POS hardware. From the C-Level on down, the buzz about Mobile in Retail has been increasing ever since Apple began usingit in their stores. Retailers desire the same experience and the same throughput, and one of the most attractive functions they see is the use of handheld devices for Mobile POS. The use of Tablets (such as the iPad) is especially pertinent, since double-digit growth in shipments of these devices for Mobile POS use will be the norm for the foreseeable future.
