Im reasonably sure video editing on the pocketpc will get better, but Im not sure if windows mobile is likely to be the dominant pocket os in the future, the pocketpc is getting battered from all sides these days.
I think it might be more likely that editing capabilities will be built into more camcorders etc in future. And if there is a future iphone that records video, or some other mobile mac device that makes use of multitouch screen, we could be in for a treat. On the camcorder front I suppose its feasible that the cameras of the future will be wifi enabled. In the meantime, I think nokia mobile video editing stuff possibly has the largest potential audience right now, in terms of number of people who buy nokia phones, but this may not be so true in the USA, and the lack of touchscreen or large enough screen is a hindrance. I dunno, I guess its one of those things that would be incredibly useful if done right, but only a very small %age of people who buy suitable devices will actually use this feature. I havent ended up using the basic video editing on the nokia N95 much yet, its just a tad too painful, but I guess I would use it if I were travelling the world or taking speedvlogging to an extreme. If the economy doesnt slow development pace, I think we are about to see mobile devices of all kinds reach a new level of useability, so the next few years should see some of these hopes come true.
