Is there a Rich Internet Application killer app? This observation that successful new technologies always have must-have application is a good one. Would the Wii be quite as successful without Wii Fit? I have seen a number of questions on Twitter for an OpenSolaris version of Adobe Air. And why? Because people want to be able to run the Adobe Air desktop app TweetDeck. The ability to run web applications in a manner that makes them feel more like a desktop app — sounds like a killer app. So whichever RIA can meet that need, will probably have its killer app.
Where are the RIA “killer apps”? | RIA Zone
I’ve found, over the years, that in almost every successful field of technology there’s a “killer app,” a category-leader so strong as to be universally understood as the archetype of success in a given domain. Conversely, when a technology lacks a killer app, it tends to be very telling. It says something about the future of that technology.
