In fact, one in five emails are now opened on a mobile device. Here is how desktop, Web and mobile email clients have fared comparatively over the last two years:

Not suprising!

Flurry compared its mobile data to stats from comScore and Alexa, and found that in June, consumers spent 81 minutes per day using mobile apps, compared to 74 minutes of web surfing. (See chart below.) The shift comes as combined tablet and smartphone shipments eclipsed those of desktops and notebooks for the first time, according to a recent report by Mary Meeker, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

I’m proud to be part of the team delivering the mobile apps here at myYearbook.  This is some good evidence that we’re delivering a great user experience for Android, iPhone, and the mobile web.

No news here, really, right?  Not unexpected due to the manufacturers that lined up to support Google’s free Mobile OS, but Android has come a long way since the G1.  At myYearbook, you’re sure to find flavors of the Nexus [S], Droid X, Droid, Droid 2, Galaxy S, and more recently the Motorola Xoom.  Not only are these essential for ensuring our mobile apps are running bug free across the various custom UI’s on top of Android, but they demonstrate how much growth Android has seen in the past 6 months.

LinkedIn InMaps

Create a cool map visualization of all your LinkedIn contacts organized into relationship clusters. My biggest clusters include school friends and colleagues from past jobs (click the image above for a larger view). Interestingly, the map shows a distinction between my past marketing / creative co-workers at Yahoo (green) and the product / engineering folks I knew at Yahoo (blue).

Android now #2 in market share behind Nokia.  RIM falls behind Apple.  

It’s going to be interesting to see what Windows Phone 7 does, but I think RIM and Nokia are in trouble.
