I agree with your perspective. Google's plan is to gradually morph various devices of different sizes into functioning similarly, with size being the primary distinguishing factor. Imagine a TV, netbook, smartphone, in-car device, and others, all with the same capabilities and OS, only differing in size, resolution, and power.
