A bit late reply from my side ..

I find the Mobile module set a bit out of place. In this regard I like the MeeGo
approach [1]. Like having a common foundation, but separate User Experiences
(UX) on top of it.
This way we could have:

Applications
Desktop | Netbook | Mobile | ...
Platform | Extended Platform

The application module would be what has been suggested by some people in the
thread.
