I was thinking more of 2009, but yeah. Whichever it is, you're right. There are issues to be settled, but I think progress is being made.

Maybe this is just the Google fan-boy part of me, but I think Android has potential to bring mobile computing forward by quite a bit.

I think this article made a lot of sense in saying that there are still one or two years before mobile web can really take off. I believe 2010 will be the prime time for mobile web. One significant factor is the cost of data subscription for average consumers. Based on my experience of developing moble web apps, data subscription cost is one major factor that slows dowm the adoption for Asians and Europeans alike.
