Adobe has declared that United States shoppers spent $1.2 billion US in online sales via phones and tablets this Black Friday.

This year is the first time that mobile sales have passed the $1 billion US mark, Adobe asserted.

Retailers are reporting tremendous mobile sales spikes; Amazon says mobile numbers are greater than last year’s, while Target reports that 60% of its sales came from mobile. Walmart says 70% of sales were via phone or tablet.

While some sales are over and done, there are some still available for your perusal — even here in Australia.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
