Not really.
Similar to desktop PCs, it's not very likely to die out
completely and just become extinct. Desktop PCs still have their
uses and advantages.
The same will apply to mobile apps. Apps like games, office
suite is not suitable on the web platform. They will still need a
native apps to perform their best. I will say it will end up being
so niche that only a few companies will be doing it.
For apps such as Facebook, LinkedIn, they are more likely to go
the way of dinosaurs as it's not feasible to create and maintain
apps for Apple, Android, Windows, BlackBerry, etc. Mobile sites
will take up this role, probably through HTML5.
Smart devices need the support of smart infrastructure as well.
I like how Japan and Korea integrated various services together,
like using their smartphones to pay for transport. Singapore still
has a long way to go in this area. We are in some ways quite
disintegrated.

I dont get you. You referring to programming or what? I wasn't
referring to programming in general but programming with regards to
mobile apps esp on Apple platform.
Apps like games, office suite is not suitable on the web
platform.
It would be incorrect to equate apps with game and office suite
only. Right now in the US, there are business-to-business apps out
there that is replacing the role of credit card.
As for facebook and LinkedIn, I have no comment. Yes, to future
seems to belong mobile-enabled sites.
To clarify myself. I also wasn't refering to smart devices per
se but ubiquitous smart devcies. Maybe I should mention the word
ubiquitous because it is the future yet unseen and
its confusing to people who read it.
