Yes, Jobs has been predicting the death of the Windows PC (when he says "PC", he really means "Windows PC". He is offended if you call the computers he creates "PC's") for a while.
He's not very often wrong, but it's one of these few times.
I don't think so. Actually if you go back and watch the video where he said that, he very deliberately defines the "PC" category as Windows machines and Macs. Kara Swisher is a little confused, because for her "PC" means a Windows box. She gets some kind of clarification, but it's clear that Jobs wants to use the word "PC" as an umbrella term for all high-powered keyboard+mouse+12-24in screen machines.
Apple does the whole "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" thing, but where have you ever seen Jobs personally try to assert that Macs are not PCs?

This competition between Apple & Google will bring forward an environment that is bring about a lot of opportunities.
