> Devices that now rely on cloud computing for much of their functionality, like smartphones, could become self-contained objects, capable of memory-intensive things like voice recognition and language translation without calling on external computers

That could have a lot of impact on privacy and end-user control, and on businesses that sell cloud services.

I expect Google to be a laggard (at best) in that area because it wants you to have to connect to its servers, so hopefully others will pick up the slack.

Google wants you to be able to search. Being able to have lower latency for things like text to speech means that you're more apt to do voice searches and the like. You've got to keep in mind that the high end google phones already tend to have more RAM than their apple counterparts.
