  First of all: great presentation.

  I agree that the development, deployment, and maintenance rules with web and that syncing, UI, and local sensor data will be fixed through standardizing API:s (or verticals like the iPhone or Nokia nSeries),

  BUT:
  I also think that it is easier to charge for “downloadables”. Maybe it is a mental shift that will occur, but right now the web does not have a very stable billing model for use (but only as mediator or store front) but “atomized objects”, virtual or real, has a higher perceived value than “cloudy stuff”.
