There are many apps that could be just as easily done with current web technologies, so in a sense some of the mobile app space will die. Do I really need a native app for every single website out there that already has a rich web app? As more and more hardware features are exposed through the browser, I think a lot of app programmers will move to web interfaces and technology.
That said, there are still several classes of apps that can use the resources provided by native frameworks. Streaming media, high power games, and apps that can be accessed quickly on the local device without network connections all still have a place on the various mobile platforms. Like every new platform, there is an artificially high demand for native apps from developers and hiring companies, but that desire will subside eventually.
