It would be hard for Amiga to compete without a killer app, actually without any of the "standard" apps let alone a killer app. It can render web pages, can't handle html mail. It's video and audio editors are primitive. You can't open Adobe docs or see flash on youtube. You can't edit raw images. You can't edit and host webpages on it. You can't open a Word document. Who would buy it and why?

You're mostly right, but theres a few exceptions..

Abiword loads MS Word documents (and others, like OO.org), SimpleMail has some basic HTML rendering, CubicIDE has non-WYSIWYG HTML editing with syntax highlighting, and theres at least one or two website hosting softwares around, youtube is accessible with scripts under AWeb and IBrowse and can be played back with MPlayer (just not embedded in the page)..

(I just put the above in bold because I dont want to sound like I'm saying Amiga's are problem free)
