Comment:

 Our web app http://wpremote.com is built on WordPress.

 It uses WordPress for the backend data store and business logic, the
 front-end is a completely separate app written in knockout.js, they
 communicate via a http API. In the future there will be other "front-end
 apps" which also interact with the WP backend, things like an iPhone app,
 Mac app etc.

 ManageWP (http://managewp.com) is another example, although the separation
 is not so clear there as there UI is also in WordPress.

 The one Matt referenced in his example was for AMC's Breaking Bad app
 which uses WordPress as a backend for a companion iPhone app that pushes
 out updates at key points throughout the show.

 Another one of our client sites http://rufflr.com has an iPhone app which
 uses WordPress to store data and manage users, again it interacts with
 WordPress via an API.

 The key here is that it's perfectly reasonably to use WordPress as the
 server component for all kinds of apps including web apps, mobile apps,
 desktop apps etc.
