Well, I'm thinking that in many successful product lines, leveraging off core technology to suit specific user bases is a successful strategy. As long as the products are complimentary. The mobile and desktop MLO products have been designed for different user groups. Initially, everyone was expecting the mobile MLO to be an extension of desktop, but it's not. It is a new product which simply uses a similar underlying philosophy to desktop MLO which has the ability to sync with the desktop MLO. It makes very good business sense to do this of course as it attracts a new user base and income stream but I'm guessing that there are many MLO power users who just want a mobile slave for MLO rather than a fully fledged task manager (although judging by the lack of response here, I do admittedly wonder a bit about this now - but certainly that's my position). So this idea is simply to appeal to those primarily desktop MLO users. Would also be a good way for Andrey to understand the demands of auto sync on the cloud. My guess is that this would be profitable for him as the technology ios already there - just needs rejigging - and it could increase cloud subcriptions and possibly pave the way for auto sync added to the stand-alone mobile MLO app.
