Meanwhile, Web portals and start pages often host multiple applications, serving as a possible replacement desktop. Where do mobile phones and other non-PC devices integrate into this world? In this session, David Temkin discusses today's trends in user experience, programming models, and infrastructure, laying the foundation for a device-independent, network-centric world.
