Mobile Search Revenues to Exceed PC Search

Google CEO Eric Schmidt anticipates mobile search revenues will surpass search on the PC within the next several years, “not decades,” citing the increasing sophistication and affordability of smartphones as the catalyst behind the paradigm shift.

“The fact of the matter is that mobile devices are going to be the majority of the way that people get information,” Schmidt said Tuesday during an appearance at a conference in San Francisco, InternetNews.com reports.

“The argument is relatively simple: You already have them. They’re called your phones.”

Earlier this week, web solutions provider NetApplications reported Google’s search dominance on smartphones is now even greater than its lead on the desktop–the web services giant accounted for 97.5% of global smartphone searches in February 2009. Yahoo followed with just 2.03%, and MSN represented only 0.07%.
