Philip Greenspun predicts that GooGle will extend beyond GMail to compete with Ms Office (via WebApp semi-Rich Client - IOS). I thought YaHoo would go in this direction years ago, but then a Holly Wood guy took over...
[Rick Klau] has similar thoughts - predicting that GMail will add Rss Aggregator features to become a Universal Inbox.
A big problem I have with the WebApp model is how to integrate stuff when you work with more than one vendor. Will GooGle have Open Formats to integrate with another app?
Update Jul12: [Phil Wainewright] on YaHoo buying OddPost. But notice how the competitive ground has subtly shifted here. It's not merely a question of offering 1GB storage space (well actually Yahoo! will be offering 2GB, according to Oddpost) along with virus protection and spam filtering. The big deal now is having a slick user interface on your online service.
hmm, they've still been MsIE-only. Will that change?
