Radical new idea for what a mobile device should be: thin client.

Not a web browser thin client. VNC-like. All data remote, optionally on hardware on your own physical premises. Every device is a burner.

Not only do you eliminate searches & make replacement of potentially compromised devices trivial...

You also kill everything cpu-hungry that precludes Nokia-candybar-era battery performance.

Same screen power costs and increased usage of networking. It's likely going to end up using more power if it's as functional.

It's not heavy CPU/GPU usage for calculations/rendering that ends up draining most power on mobile devices outside of gaming.

Better gaming battery life that way, definitely, but not without significant latency that can't all be eliminated.

Input latency is also becoming a major concern even outside of gaming. Can't see this happening. All data on servers, yeah.

Calling latency a concern is a joke when the shitty java apps running on Android freeze for 100s of ms at a time mid-scroll.

With modern (&future!) networks you can have <50ms ping easily, less latency than on-device java apps.
