Those of us using iPhones, iTouch etc are more or less very close to a web-only operating systems experience. Plus there are people like my parents who use Yahoo mail and Flickr etc. ... I am even trying to get my Dad to use PS online and/or the Flickr editing tools. We all want light and fast. We are uploading images direct to Facebook. And we are getting used to using app suites such as Google Docs. It's ultra convenient to be able to access your data from any internet capable machine. And a lot less IT headache and cost for an equitable set up than device-based operating systems.
We'll probably always have a second computer for the things you will miss, just the same.
Maybe the web-only operating systems should offer an option to store data locally?
My fantasy is to have the iPhone OS on a laptop (preferably an older Apple G3 or G4 laptop. Tho, the touch screen is a minor hurdle in that scenario.
