I'll argue that their are still killer apps, but just not on the desktop. For instance, video game systems (Wii, Xbox, etc) need to have a killer app when they're first released to drive sales, to encourage more development etc.
- ojbyrne 18y agoSure, but what hardware do rich internet apps drive purchases of?
- dantheman 18y agoWell, I'd say killer apps on the internet only drive bandwidth and latency metrics. Video for bandwidth & games for latency.
- jokermatt999 18y agoThey don't drive purchases; they drive adaption. A user is less likely to bother downloading a framework if the app they want it for doesn't look that great. They may decide it's not worth it, and not install it. If someone makes a truly "killer app" for one of these competing technologies, it would theoretically lead more people to install whatever framework it was on.
