Killer App: This is something small, but unbelievably crucial. I can't tell you how frustrated I have been from the existing functionality either on my desk top, or mobile device.
Here it is: A killer learning auto-completion typing library. I know it's small - but it's concrete, discrete (meaning the functionality is encapsulated and finite), and the use is pervasive -AND- the current implementations are annoying as H#LL. :P If there could be an incredible learning library that is cross-platform or multi platform, this would be IT! I don't think by "killer app" it means we have to build Commander Data, we just need something that really profits from learning, is demonstrably superior, and can be shown in a pervasive way....
