Its not just the developers, but the media has jumped on it as well. Attention has definitely focused to mobile as they think of a desktop or laptop as cumbersome and not needed. Even Microsoft knows this and why they are pushing Windows 8 on the tablet so hard.

I even saw an article about some banking app (I think it was Charles Schwab) where this woman was talking about "in the old days" she would have to be glued to her computer to login to the website when now she can get everything instantly on the go on her iPhone. I think another reference was made that she could spend more time with her kids or would be out with friends and could check her stocks without having to ask for a laptop. Of course this was an advertisement for their iPhone but also shows how obsessed people are with their cell phones for instant gratification and at the same time viewing a traditional computer as an outdated piece of technology.
