Just for the record, Ecco does not support cloning (if by cloning, one means seeing an item under 2 or more different parents) URp and IQ are two apps supporting multiple parents, there may be a few others.

Hugh, you raise a very interesting point. To take it one step further, I note that an iPhone app seems to be at the moment a must for just about any webware (web 2.0) application out there, from social media to online project management tools to whatever.
As a non-iPhone user, I find that my choices are significantly reduced. If I want to have mobile access to the webware I choose, I need to buy an iPhone.
So software developers are pressured to develop for the iPhone/IPad and users have little choice than to buy iPhones/iPads to access their applications. How the age of diversity and competition has led to such a monopolistic situation escapes me.
