Duh.

Now, maybe I'm wrong, but how often are killer ideas ever actually seen as such until they have become a killer idea? I mean, by definition, it's not a killer idea until it proves it is one, anyway.

And in this space, the killer idea seems to be mobile apps, in general. Why? Because, as IDC points out, it's spread across nearly all genre's to begin with which means it's also spread across many demographics.

However, that doesn't mean there won't be a killer idea. If there is one now, it hasn't emerged as such yet. Otherwise, it just doesn't exist yet and it's waiting to be invented. And if you believe IDC, it's the latter as they don't see any of the current apps as being "killer app quality" or having already shown to be growing as a killer app (meaning there would already be one).
