If there's a reasonable conclusion to be made from app overload it's that apps must die. Web, desktop and mobile apps, the way they're presented are a pain for the end user. He has to think in terms of apps, not in terms of functionality.
Apple's Siri is a good example. You're using many apps simultaneously through one interface - calendar, weather, alarms, maps, etc. You don't have to worry about how someone decided to bundle functionality into apps, you just access the functionality.
If this new genre of apps appears it doesn't sound like the user experience will be improved.
