Happy Friday!

We kick off the digest this week with a piece from Keith Teare, entrepreneur, investor and co-founder of TechCrunch. His view is that mobile will change the entire software ecosystem over the next 5 years and that this transformation will completely debunk all notions of a bubble. This is followed by stats from Millenial Media that show Android gobbling up market share amongst smartphone players. GigaOM came out with an interesting piece that puts the past 10 years of mobile growth into perspective, and also provides a similar optimistic forecast for the next 10 years. Lastly, we round out the week with an article that highlights just how important smartphones are to carriers – $100 to Verizon at least. Hope you all enjoy the long weekend.

Smart Mobile and the Thin Cloud
By Keith Teare, TechCrunch

A great piece from Keith Teare who claims that software is increasingly becoming mobile and will start to take share of the web 1.0 and web 2.0 era companies. Anybody building anything in 2011 should be thinking “mobile first” and he claims that Apple’s iPhone architecture is best suited to this emerging human experience.

Android Bumps Lead Over Apple’s iOS on Ad Network
By Lance Whitney, CNET News

Android continues to up its significant lead over Apple’s iOS, according to the latest Mobile Mix report from Millenial Media. Device maker Samsung continues to grow to 19 percent market share of impressions for the month, second to Apple who retained a 26 percent share.

From 2001 to 2010, Mobile Calls Increased 10 Times
By Om Malik, GigaOM

GSMA’s Wireless Intelligence released a report that sows that in 2010 there were 1.6 trillian gloval voice minutes, 10 times 2001’s 170 billion minutes. The report also points out that usage grew twice as fast as connections over the same time period, probably because of flat-rate plans and decrease use of landlines.

Verizon Offering $100 to Smartphone Upgraders
By: Lance Whitney, CNET News

Verizon’s recent move shows the carriers’ preference for smartphones, as they can increase average revenue per subscriber significantly with costly monthly data plans.

Good morning NYC Startups… and Good bye! 

In the last year and a half, I’ve watched the NYC StartupDigest community grow from just a handful of friends to almost 10,000 members. But as Art.sy has started to take off, it has become increasingly difficult to give the digest the attention it deserves.

So the reins are officially passing to Frank Denbow, Satjot Sawhney, and Julia Levy, who will take the NYC StartupDigest to all new heights. Getting to contribute to and be a part of the NYC tech culture has been a wonderful experience that I couldn’t be more grateful for. Thank you for being a part of it too, and for all the feedback and kind words you’ve shared with us.

And finally, if you are a mathematician, software engineer, designer, art historian, or some combination thereof, I would love to talk with you about Art.sy. Interested? Just hit ‘reply’ to this email — it’s the last one you’ll be getting from me :).

Good morning NYC startups!

Now, there is a way to proudly and publicly display that your tech was coded in The Big Apple with Introducing Made In NYC.

Finally, one easy way to manage all of your accounts, subscriptions and loyalty programs. And the best part? No paper, more trees.” Want to get your startup mentioned? Let us know here.
