But I don't see it as an Internet/Non-Internet dichotomy. I see these successful companies as businesses that have been able to successfully integrate an online presence into their businesses.

For RIMM it's the fact that the iPhone has finally broken that barrier to bringing the web to the phone and for Google it's just plain integrating every damned under the sun onto their site.
If the author seems a touch optimistic, it is nevertheless a good reminder for us all.
