The laptop I recorded that demo on has a high end i7, which was operating at 100% on all 8 cores (it can work with much lower CPU usage if CUDA is available though); so even when mobile processors get to an equivalent performance level it'd be terrible for battery life. The only exception would be if phones started shipping with CUDA capable processors (nVidia do have some mobile oriented CUDA capable chips, but they're not widely used at the moment). So unfortunately for the foreseeable future the most practical solution for mobile systems is to have a CUDA backed server processing requests remotely I'm afraid.
