It will be the Twilight Zone if the mobile market gets a more capable, better browser market share breakdown than on desktop. Hrm, I wonder what Microsoft will use for their new Windows Phone?
I had heard windows 7 might use OpenGL ES for graphics (http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=2752) which would be amazing... But latest news is that it won't. It would be very nice if Microsoft also went with Webkit, but that will never happen. However the mobile gaming and browser standards are starting to be established, will Microsoft become the IE6 of mobile by not supporting OpenGL ES and WebKit or HTML5 capable browser?
It will be much harder to port games to Windows Mobile the way they are setting it up. And web development for mobile would be nice with mobile market supporting an html5 browser before desktop across the board.
