there was a post, a link to TED show that referred to binary applets and how we suppose to think of browser being OS and having a safe environment in it to run small binary networked applets. Javascript was a great expriment and V8 kicks ass and probably best there has been for the browsers - yet model that browser is an app and not OS/Kernel with safe place to run privilged code - I think little will change. Because phones still have too little battery to waste and approach to mobile web that it is a browser and not Kernel or a part of the Kernel, little will change. Apple has something - their stuff is binary. Android is all Java so there is that barrier beyond getting closer to hardware. Yes I know JVM is pretty fast and there is JIT. But it is not binary. IMHO
