Cool video showing an iPhone in action - and a question to web developers

Technology

I have been kind of passively watching the iPhone news go by the past month knowing I am far too cheap to actually buy one until they are no longer cool and people have moved on to the next flash in the pan at which point I will be stuck with the old and busted iPhone.

This morning a coworker sent me this video demonstrating the features. There is some really sweet stuff in there! As I watched it I could hear a future conversation my kids will be having their kids.

"Son, when I was a little boy we had these big noisy metal boxes under our desks and *those* were our computers. Can you believe that?"

So to the web development community -- What do you think we need to be doing today in order to be prepared for the future in such a way that we remain viable as developers? I don't want to end up staring at the same fate as client-server Windows application developers, watching my corner of the development world get smaller and smaller!

Does it really change much for us? What what should we be learning now?
