In reply to John Spade.

Great point, John, and while I believe devices will be reduced to conduits for users to connect with the web, I also believe each OS will maintain its own flavor of thoughtfulness as it relates to disappearance and utility. Think of it this way – even if information is being presented to you when its relevant, different OS's will present that information in different ways, and (both free and paid) apps, as they are known today, may still exist in some form as they'll continue to provide their added utility.

In your mind's eye, do you see the OS battle becoming entirely irrelevant?
