This should be interesting.
I'm very close to using 100% web apps now, so I was considering creating a "web OS", by taking a standard install of Ubuntu & removing all bundled desktop apps, except for Firefox & Chrome. A ChromeOS install would make things considerably easier (& more fun, since ChromeOS is something new to play with), so hopefully they will have a beta to try very soon.

Actually, Apple had originally intended apps for the iPhone to be web apps. Apple is one of, if not THE major driving force behind WebKit & WebKit's HTML5, WebGL, etc. support. So Apple really deserves credit for openness, in this case.

The game changer, this time, could be HTML5, WebGL, etc. If web apps become the norm for app development & all smartphone platforms support them, then people will be able to buy whatever device they like (iPhones, Androids, Blackberries, etc.) & all the same apps should be available for them. Purely hypothetical, but possible.

AT&T is clearly trying to deflect attention away from the most immediate issue: network neutrality...especially as it pertains to their wireless network.
Whether any of AT&T's allegations are true or not, they should be addressed in conjunction with the planned FCC probe of Google Voice.
