The Tech Report had an interview with Neil Trevett, the President of Khronos Group and VP of NVIDIA's Embedded Content division. They talked about OpenCL, DX Compute Shader and more. You can read it over here.
Will we see many OpenCL-enabled consumer apps from major application vendors?

Yeah, absolutely. I think it's interesting; you can split the types of apps down to their individual categories. But I think as GPU compute becomes more widely available, I think over time you're gonna see these historical categories begin to break down. I think you're gonna see a very innovative ebb and flow between the different application categories, and see new types of applications emerge that weren't possible before they could tap into the parallel computing inside GPUs..
