This is a response to the developer's claims, rather than to the product.

Curio may be very good, but the claim that it is the 'premiere mind mapping…' application is simply wrong. Mind Mapping is a well-defined concept developed by Tony Buzan. There are a number of applications out there which implement it properly, but Curio, which only features straight lines (not curved) and forces you to write on the symbols rather than on the lines themselves, is not one of them. NovaMind and Inspiration are both better implementations of Mind Mapping.

It's also not the premiere project management tool. Project Management is also a well-defined concept. Download Merlin if you want to see what a real project management tool looks like. Essential features of project management include Gantt charts and PERT diagrams.

This may well be amazing software for what it does -- but, at least based on the features and specifications on the developer's site, it doesn't do full-blown mind-mapping or project management.

Sorry.
