We have design guidelines. We have look and feel. The cell phone seems to narrow down what is possible, pushing developers towards common metaphors. There are app creation wizards for smartphones now. I think there may be a turning point where people may start using wizards to create more apps. I sort of view a wizard as a front end for a POL. If the app is constructed from well known components it would seem easier to validate. Reducing the kloc as Alan suggests may also make it easier.
