The point I got from this (and as Ben Forta said, this is one of those things that two weeks from now I'll think "HOLY COW!" and have a perfect example of how cool this is going to be) was not that the goal was to eliminate the browser, but rather to open up all the other possibilities that are either difficult or impossible to do in CF today.  I'm sure we'll be writing web applications that run in a browser or Flash or whatever new technology comes out next for a long time to come, but these gateways will allow us to talk to anything any time using any protocol, without kludging things together or always being stuck with the http way of doing things.
