I agree with Emil, there is more acceptance of the idea of paying for an
item on a mobile phone over here in the US than in Europe. European Users
are still more cautious of giving up their credit card details. And remember
- the US is possibly the largest single-language market in the western
hemisphere.

I don't know if it's that hard to believe. E-commerce is more predominant in
the US compared to Europe, so the barrier to m-commerce would seem to be
less of problem. And wireless transactions are not just in trials or limited
costumer deployment.
When it comes to m-commerce, sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble have
provided wireless services for some time. Several brokerages offer wireless
trading and financial institutions such as Netbank and banks and credit
unions using Digital Insights Axis Internet banking offer wireless access to
accounts using text messaging, web enabled phones and Palm VII's.
...And it's all in production.

hard to believe, I would have thought that given the mobile phone
penetration in Europe, purchases through mobile phones should be higher
there. Wireless transactions in the US are either in trials or limited
customer deployment, not widespread. Finally, yesterday there was an
article in the Wall Street Journal on the customer satisfaction survey by
the University of Michigan e-commerce companies, satisfaction level was
around 73, lower than consumer nondurables.
my two cents worth.

"The report found the U.S. leads the way in purchases through mobile phones
while Europe is ahead in banking, although no figures were collated."
This cannot be true!
