Not as a consumer product, no.

More abstractly, if you provided a unified API across many platforms which application developers could use to access any such service, it would be a massive hit.

When POSIX got to a point where you could assume it was mostly implemented across OSes, it decimated development cost.

If you could define a good cross-platform API for web services (and provide an implementation), developers would beg you to take their money.

Have you tried http://tarpipe.com ? It offers such an API and a visual programming environment where you can interconnect different web services.
