I agree with what was said that the mobile platform is starting to blend with the desktop, I work in Flash primarily and see Adobe attempting to use it's VM in the same way Java did, with ...better success IMO. I also concur: Shadow is in a niche of it's own. For work with teams, I have access to big project management software, focusing on accountability (e.g. www.qtask.com) and when it comes to actually making tasks, when measuring TMPM (Tasks Managed Per Minute)...I prefer Shadow everytime. There are many engineers like myself that detest full blown project management (e.g. Project) as they quickly become a parasite on project resources. The goal becomes 'keeping the project plan perfect' instead of "getting product out the door ASAP" I have shown people my approach to using Shadow, and given the choice, many would prefer a less structured approach than most Project Management software. But since shadow doesn't support teams, they have to use it for group collaboration. Also I'm a researcher in several areas. A core use for me for Shadow is somewhere between a wiki and a task planner and a protocol designer. This to me is invaluable. I have some Shadow Databases that are 3MB, so even on a 4000 pixel high displays this is 30 pages of dense outline information (not including the notes!). So being able to 'fold space', to hide what I don't need, and interrelate two parts is invaluable. I can't do that with wiki, word, PDF, the brain etc.
