I believe that the local copy on portable devices will still exist, to an extent. Not entire libraries but a subset that serves as a cache.
Mostly this is useful for times when network connectivity is not guaranteed and on-device storage is rather cheap.
One of my favorite features of the MOG app for iPhone is the ability to download local copies of albums.
I use this feature to ensure smooth playback on the road, and so that my personal listening doesn't impact the wireless network at the office or cause excessive usage on my mobile data plan.
Supporting on-device caching of content in the Ick APIs might end up as a key differentiating feature.
