Going shopping? Don’t forget your cell phone

Remember when cell phones were just for calling people? Nowadays we use them for all kinds of activities.

          A survey sponsored by Motorola Inc., for example, found that 64 percent of consumers ages 18 to 34 had used their mobile phones as shopping assistants over the previous two weeks.

          Shoppers used their phones to compare prices and features, take pictures of products they were deciding to buy, or accessing online coupons.

          The survey questioned 4,500 shoppers in 11 countries. Mobile phones are most popular with shoppers in Asia, where 78 percent reported using them; the U.S. and Canada came in last for phone-assisted buying, with only 45.1 percent of consumers relying on them during shopping excursions.
