Ed Hardy over at brighthand has posted an editorial about what he thinks the "Handheld Killer App" is. This is a software application that will make people BUY hardware they don't own just to get it. What is the Killer app he speaks of? EMail. Not only Email, but wireless Email on a device that is easy to type on (read physical QWERTY keyboard) and has push email abilities. Now what devices have both of those features built in? Blackberrys. "For several years, handheld sales were weak. This is because they were in need of a new killer app.
"Killer app" is a term first coined by Apple's Steve Jobs to refer to a single use that will cause people to buy a product. For the original PCs, it was the spreadsheet. The killer app for the Macintosh was desktop publishing. "
Blackberrys always seemed to me to be a glorified pager.
