I think mobile phones will eventually move up and displace traditional PC with a docking system that connect to your big monitors, your mouse, and your keyboard, and maybe even a big fat hard drive.
Perhaps we will see a hybrid model in which your phone gets additional CPU and RAM to work with when plugged in?
What about google glasses and other devices? The PC should find a way to interface with that too.

The hybrid model I've been using for about 20 years now is connect a wimpy machine to a big one using SSH/NFS and a couple other technologies. For a decade or so the end users at wife's employer have been using rdesktop/vnc for their hybrid solution. Its actually "easier" for enduser devices to connect to a (private?) cloud than to try to do stuff themselves. So that's the more likely hybrid model. I don't run exchange server at home, or even run exchange client at home. Exchange webmail, yes.
