Ipads are in the mobile device category, but are really like mini-laptops to most people. With the exception of Flash, full size websites look great on the iPad. I do lots of shopping on my iPad via Paypal and other merchants. My point is that “mobile” as a category doesn’t really make sense to me. Some sort of segmentation based on screen-size or device functionality would be more useful for developers.

With more people buying smart phones and ipads, ipods and other tablet type devices, pretty soon that’ll be the majority of searches… for just about everything…
Although I think location based queries will always be greater than other types of queries. It just makes sense.

Not surprising restaurants have the highest percentage of online searches. Lots of web developers do not consider designing sites for mobiles, but it is becoming more crucial each day!
