Contexts being mobile or desktop. It's going to take some time for that sort of change to take place. There will be a need for interim solutions to handle the billions of webpages, built with only desktop browsers in mind. Not sure if SkyFire is that interim solution, seems a little heavy.

What makes the iPhone such an awesome thing to use is when the apps are written for the iPhone, which is anything but a desktop browsing experience.
