I have a feeling this is one of those things that happens but just not the way many imagined it would.
Like with Linux and Open Source Software in general becoming popular. Many probably thought open source was going to be this new business model powering software companies. People also probably imagined a Linux-based Desktop distribution was going to become more popular than Windows. Instead hardware and service companies adopted open source software and usually as components as part of a proprietary product. While Linux made it's way through to consumers via a phone OS.
Yet the way these things happened doesn't contradict the prediction in anyway. Just because people added on their own speculation doesn't make what was originally said false.
With that said it's going to happen because the PC as we know it doesn't work in people's lives the way they need it to. It works for programmers, designers and writers perhaps but for everyone else is not the right tool for the job. And it's only a matter of when something more suitable is made.
And In many cases a phone is that but due to some artificial constraints (Flash, Traditional website design, and plain old device discrimination) it's not always up to the task.
