Mobile Trends / top acquired phones
For 2011 Apple maintained the three top slots for smartphones sold
The iPhone 4S was the third most acquired phone in 2011 despite not being available for purchase until October 2011
The iPhone 3GS, Apple’s value phone, was $99 for the first three quarters of 2011 and became free in Q4 with a 2/yr contract
Oddly enough only one Android phone was in the top 5 in sales reflecting diversity in the Android ecosystem

This data clearly reflects the diversity and quantity of Android devices
As of December 2011 70 different Android phones were available for purchase within the US
Monday, April 30, 12
Mobile Trends / purchase consideration
For smartphones consumers rate the OS brand as the number two most important factor for purchase consideration
While the top purchase consideration factor is network quality of the service provider

Mobile Trends / OEMs
The differences between smartphone OEMs and the total mobile space is very interesting with Samsung, LG and Motorola maintaining 59% of marketshare in the US
These brands are typically associated with Android however they still produce mass quantities of feature phones
From an OEM standpoint Apple and HTC maintain nearly 50% of the US smartphone marketshare

Mobile Trends / smartphone penetration
With the overall growth in the US smartphone universe in 2011 we noticed a sizable shift in the total mobile audience towards smartphones
The main reasons for the shifts are due to the proliferation and expansion of 3G and 4G networks, device functionality improvements and very aggressive pricing
The shift in pricing for several devices, typically close to free or free, has allowed smartphone penetration to grab significant marketshare for consumers that traditionally have not purchased a smartphone in the past

Mobile Trends / growing demographicsIn the past we noticed that smartphones were typically reserved for high income, well educated and households with sizable amounts of discretionary income
However, the aggressive pricing of these devices has significantly changed the segment
The top five fastest growing demographics in the US among smartphone users are typically known as price conscious consumers
The top two fastest growing demographics nearly doubled in 2011 while retired smartphone adoption grew by 92%

Mobile Trends / smartphone marketshare
The growth of Android US smartphone marketshare is nothing short of amazing
In just 1.5 years in the US Android has grown from 12% marketshare to 47%
Android and Apple are the only two OS’s to increase marketshare during this timeframe
As the chart would suggest a vast majority of RIM customers are shifting to Android devices with new purchases

Mobile Trends / mobile media consumption
With the advances made by 3G and 4G networks as well as the functionality and improvements in user experience, 2011 marked shifts in how people used smartphones
Interestingly enough consumers in the US and EU5 use smartphones very differently with US consumers being much heavier users of both native apps and the mobile web
However both markets noticed nearly 30% gains Y/Y for both native apps and mobile web usage for consumption of media

Mobile Trends / mobile activities
More than 1/3 of the Americans accessed social networking sites in 2011 with their smartphone
Nearly 3/4 of Americans sent a text message in 2011 while almost 2/3 took a photo
1/3 of Americans used or accessed search from their phones in 2011
Oddly enough just 24%, or 1/4, used their phone to listen to music
1 in 10 consumers accessed online retail in 2011

Mobile Trends / top mobile categories
21
Source: ComScore 2012 Mobile Future in Focus
In the US 28.5 million consumers accessed online retail, via both native app and mobile web, in 2011 compared to just 15.2 million in 2010 which marks 87% growth Y/Y and positioned this category as the second fastest growing segment
Monday, April 30, 12
Mobile Trends / mobile usage in retail
22
Source: ComScore 2012 Mobile Future in Focus
The most common activity performed by US females in a retail store is taking a picture of a product while the most common among males is scanning a barcode
Two activities we feel will significantly grow in 2011 are comparing product prices and found coupons or deals due to the options consumers have to take advantage of these activities
Monday, April 30, 12
Mobile Trends / conclusion
The smartphone ecosystem is very volatile which is natural due to the nascency of the category
Currently Android and Apple dominate the space and continue to demand more market share
Windows Phone, while offering an interesting OS, is not a serious competitor in the space at this time
We expect RIM marketshare to continue to decline due to the lack of innovation offered by the company
Mobile media consumption continues to grow at an alarming pace due to proliferation of devices, advances in technology and development for the category
New consumer segments are being reached, going mainstream, with the aggressive pricing models being utilized by the carriers
Mobile usage in the Retail category continues to grow, nearly doubling Y/Y, with consumers utilizing mobile for a variety of purposes

Competitor Mobile Web features compared against Taubman Mobile Web
Monday, April 30, 12
Taubman / mobile web / differentiationTaubman is positioned with primary points of differentiation within the search, personalization and mall map features
With search we are the first to market within mobile web with this key feature
On the personalization front we are the second to market however the Taubman experience is be best in class compared to GGP’s iteration of the feature due to how they execute the feature with an iframe which is broken and inaccessible
The mall map feature employed by Taubman is the first mobile web mall map to feature interactivity while all competitors, if a mall is included, feature a static map
Two other areas of differentiation are store details and social
For store details we provide consistent experience across all retailers, ability to add to favorites and current offer details if they exist as well as click to call
Our social experience is simple and informs consumers, with clickable icons, that we have a presence on these channels

Taubman
Competitor Mobile App features compared against Taubman Mobile Web
Monday, April 30, 12
Studiocom feels that this is less of an area of concern as the consumer experience delivered from the mobile web will easily match, and in most areas surpass, the competition
Several factors impact our opinion when considering mobile web vs mobile app
We consider the need for Taubman to reach critical mass, which mobile web allows for, across all smartphone and feature phone platforms as a necessity. Unfortunately mobile app development requires costly development for each platform that an app is developed for.
Taubman / rationale for why mobile web vs app
31
Monday, April 30, 12
In essence with mobile web Taubman will reach 100% of the smartphone marketplace penetration at launch
32
Native app development is extremely costly due to independent app development per platform typically leading to 2X to 3X the costs of mobile web development
Taubman / rationale for why mobile web vs app
Monday, April 30, 12
Taubman / mobile web
The new version of the mobile optimized Taubman website launched in March
This release of the mobile website included major enhancements to the existing version that firmly pushed Taubman ahead of the competition due to the key points of differentiation
We are very pleased with the new website and each of the enhancements made to move Taubman ahead of the competition
The new website provides a very powerful, yet simple, user experience that helps to aid the consumer when visiting a Taubman property
In addition the consumer has the ability to experience the mobile website regardless of what type of mobile operating system or smartphone that they have providing Taubman with maximum reach across mobile devices

Competitive Mobile Web / simonSimon’s mobile web experience is fairly robust and includes several of the key features that will be included within the Taubman experience. The major CTA on most pages of the site is the mobile app download. Simon does include a nice search feature within the “browse stores” section. Users can easily access other Simon properties by tapping the “change mall” button featured at the top of most pages on the site.

Competitive Mobile Web / ggpGGP delivers a consistent experience from a design standpoint across all of its properties. The major focus of the mobile site is the CTA to download the mobile app which is branded as GGP and not specific to each center. The personalization efforts with “the club” essentially fail in the mobile space as this feature is non-functional while the links to the social pages are virtually “untappable” due to size.

Competitive Mobile Web / tanger outletsThe Tanger Outlets mobile website allows users to easily select which center they would like to visit and then allows them to access that location. Unfortunately the experience is not very user friendly and relies heavily on text and hyperlinks to access sections of the site which creates tapping on links a difficult action with the font sizes being so small.

Competitive Mobile Web / westfieldWestfield, much like Simon, delivers a consistent and useful user experience with a design that is built for mobile with large tappable graphics and information on each center. However they do not utilize the Google Commerce feature with the mobile web and bypass search completely with mobile web. Users can easily switch centers by tapping the the persistent “centers” link prominently featured in the top right of most pages.

Competitive Mobile Web / best in classOut of the competitive review the Simon mobile web experience is currently the best in class after Taubman
The design is very fluid and mobile friendly with large icons, calls to action and social inclusion
The “driving directions” feature is our second favorite feature as it handles the process within the site and does not redirect the user to the default device map app

Competitive Mobile App / best in classIn our native app review the best in class among competitors was Westfield
The app contains several features that set it apart from the competition with the most important feature being “product search” which employs Google’s Commerce Search and allows users to view current inventory
In addition the “shopping list” feature is unique and allows users to add products after locating them via the “product search”
