We’ve known for quite a while that mobile is on the rise, but several recent studies, including one presented at last week’s Web 2.0 Summit, are revealing some pretty impressive stats to back this up. Among the findings:

• Mobile internet has penetrated nearly 60% of the US market.
• Around 40% of users access social media from their phones.
• Up to 19% of email messages are now read on mobile, Internet-enabled devices like smartphones or tablets.
• Mobile search has grown fourfold in the last few years.
• E-commerce, especially mobile commerce, is on the rise.
