Wall Street didn’t appear to be all that affected following the announcement of the ebook settlement.

It has now been reported that Apple has come to an m-commerce settlement when it comes to issues involving accusations of collusion between the company and book publishers in order to fix the prices of ebooks.

When all was said and done, it was announced that Apple had agreed to a settlement of $450 million.

Though it had been expected by some that investors on Wall Street would shudder when they heard about the considerable m-commerce settlement payment that Apple had agreed to make, the reality of it was that they seemed rather unaffected by it. In fact, as a whole, it appears as though those investors have made the group decision to simply look the other way and allow the settlement to occur and be tucked away in the past.

If one was not watching the m-commerce news, it would appear as though nothing had happened.

Some experts in the industry are now predicting that this mobile commerce settlement has held a buy and not sell position, and that the investor reactions could be seen as a confirmation that this could be the strategy to take.

It is clear that investors are taking this opportunity to place their focus on the company’s power for long term earnings instead of falling victim to anxieties that are caused by headlines that appear much more dramatic than they may actually be.

Apple also received a bit of a hand in putting any of the negative news behind it and causing investors to look ahead to a more positive future when they took the opportunity to announce that they had entered into a new partnership with IBM in order to ensure a much more solid entry into the enterprise environment.

When all was said and done, while a settlement of $450 million may sound considerable, when it comes to the size of the m-commerce at Apple and the direction that the company appears to be taking, it does, in fact, appear to be easy to think of the situation as little more than an uncomfortable pimple that will heal up and be entirely forgotten in the future.

Omniretail at CA Com has released a report describing the growth of T-commerce.

The second screen has become a mainstream experience for the majority of consumers, and according to a recent report that has been released by CA Com, tablet commerce is taking off at an extremely promising rate.

The report looked into the developments that have been occurring over a range of different shopping channels.

According to the CEO of CA Com, Rodolphe Bonnasse, trade is undergoing an extremely rapid change, and over the last year, there has been a near doubling of the share of sales that have been occurring over the tablet commerce channel. This being the case, he added that it makes it quite difficult to be able to know exactly what the future will hold when it comes to shopping and what shoppers will actually want.

The new tablet commerce and shopping report is based on various channels of purchase used from 2013 through to this year.

The primary changes that have been seen in t-commerce since last year’s report include the following:

• The drive of tablet based shopping. In France, nearly 7 percent of consumers purchased through the use of their tablets. Last year, that figure was close to 4 percent, showing that the number has nearly doubled since that time.

• The position of sales over this device. Though still considered to be a niche market, it holds third place after shopping in person and shopping over a laptop or desktop computer in terms of a channel for making a direct purchase. Last year it represented 1 percent of the direct sales market, but now it is estimated to be closer to 10 percent in France, and growing.

• The choice of home delivery. The report showed that in France, 71 percent of shoppers chose to have their purchases shipped to their homes, as opposed to other options such as picking the item up in store or having it shipped to another location, when they have shopped over their mobile devices.

Bonnasse added that while there have been some challenges associated with the adoption of tablet commerce, at the same time, this considerable shift in shopping behaviors offers a great deal of potential to brands and companies.
