Description: A lot of angst has been spilled over the future of wireless e-commerce, or m-commerce (for mobile) as it is becoming known. But no matter how taken with the notion some tech pioneers are, wireless shopping is not something that is going to happen soon, says the latest research.

The majority of people are not prepared to shop retail using a PC, so why should we think theyll shop over a mobile phone or a wireless device, says Ben Macklin, eMarketer senior analyst who prepared the report. Retailers today should be thinking of mobile for messaging-to give consumers little alerts that there is a special on.
