Mobile technologies have grown tremendously in the past ten years. In the United States in 1999 there were 36.7 users per 100 people (Akiyoshi & Ono, 2008). In 2005, there were 94,745,000 mobile phone subscribers in Japan and 201,650,000 mobile phone subscribers in the United States, while in 2009 Japan’s mobile phone subscribers grew to 107,490,000 subscribers and the United States grew to 285,610,580 million subscribers, a growth rate of 13.5% in Japan and 41.8% in the United States. Interesting enough, most cell phone subscribers are more likely to have a higher education, a higher income, have a full time job and are usually married with children (Akiyoshi & Ono, 2008). In Japan in 1999 there were 21.4 users per 100 people, where in 2005 there were 62.1 users per 100 people, a growth rate of 190% over five years. In 2009, the diffusion rate of mobile phone among people in individual base was 78.4% in Japan (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, 2010). In Japan, mobile phone use has grown from 1995 to 2000 skyrocketed from around 5% to 90% of the population and this can be attributed to the introduction of “i-mode” by Japan’s largest mobile service provider NTT DoCoMo which allows mobile devices to access the Internet (Akiyoshi & Ono, 2008). Early adopters of the Internet tended “to be predominantly male, young, affluent, and well-educated,” but the introduction of DoCoMo’s “i-mode” brought Internet technologies to the “so-called marginalized groups consisting of women, the elderly, the less educated, and the poor” (Akiyoshi & Ono, 2008). Mobile technology use differs greatly between the United States and Japan but the drivers behind the phenomenal growth of mobile technologies, and specifically mobile phones, can be attributed to common themes. Those themes are affordability, accessibility, compatibility, effort or ease of use, experience, perceived playfulness, perceived usefulness, service quality, safety concerns, social influences and technical support. While each of these categories offers different motivations, they seem to show up in multiple studies examining the Internet and mobile technology research. Interesting enough is that mobile Internet in the United States has followed Japan at a considerable distance. In addition to the common drivers of Internet and mobile applications, there are several applications that specifically drive the success of mobile applications including, among other items, mobile web surfing, mobile learning, gaming and entertainment, mobile banking or mobile reservations, not to mention making a phone call or texting (Wang, Wu, & Wang, 2009)
