I think we're going to see more and more of it. Most applications are being developed for the web or specific mobile devices now so it's not surprising that the new trends are likely to be seen there first... the good thing is that we haven't lost site of the fact that we are still tied to our operating systems, desktop applications and such as they too could use improvements in the overall user experience. One key set of applications that showed this first move (unsurprisingly) is that of the web browser... hats of to Mozilla, and more are popping up everyday...

As with many applications out there the functionality kept growing and growing with very little (at least effective) change to navigating/finding the various tools. I think some of Adobe's products (eh-hem, photoshop) could do some investigation in this realm as well :) One thing that particularly interested me in this article is that we are seeing changes now adapting even more to the physical advancements... the touch screen has been under-utilized to this point, and though I'm not a huge fan of the stylus, I am very intrigued to see what new advancements will come there. I won't sign off on controlling my entire home with these devices but their applications in classroom demonstrations, boardrooms and more casual business settings will be a great step...

Although, through my daily surfing, I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing... ;) There has been a lot of hype about the new Office UI - I am actually quite interested in seeing it firsthand.
