Your arguments are all valid, Ben.

What gets me excited is what all the technology roadmaps by the OS + the technology adoption which comes with device sales means for startups. There's a clear commitment to the mobile web among the big players - with the exception of Ballmer's Windows Mobile, imo. That competition is really good for the industry and startups in particular.
