The difference is mobile devices are not considered general computers so they are not open to the end around by webification threat. Device hardware and resources will not be made available to the web layer so a web application will always be just about viewing documents on mobile devices, which is not a threat.

It will take another technological jump to kill of the current mobile paradigm, it won't be marginalized as the PC was.
