I don't see that happening ever. It's not just that computers are the core of their business identity/culture, but there is too much cross culture of hardware ideas for them to want to ditch it. They're free to try some new widget idea in a MacBook then refine it if it works before adding it to the phone or scrap it if it's flawed without having millions of iPhone users get upset about it. Most of the other handset makers don't have this to test with.
