1 in 4 Americans say they get most of their news from their mobile device.

30% get news via social media apps (Facebook and Twitter).

By 2014, there will be more Internet searches per day conducted on smartphones than on desktop computers.

By 2016, 88% of all local ad revenue will go to mobile.

50,000 people a day access OS.com through its mobile site and news app(that’s out of 150,000 visitors).
