The communication through the wallet is very important. I consider one of the biggest flaws of Bitcoin to be the inability to communicate with your trading partner or attach information to a transaction. It makes retail use cumbersome.
Of course we are going to have to wait to see Aphrodite to determine what it can actually do, and then there is the process of testing it in the real world, lots of independent observers who can see how powerful the anonymity really is, just like what we went through with the coin itself. But if the API is there, I foresee a lot of people writing their own applications to do their own thing with it.
