sorry to chime in, i dont know why's it about "win" and "race" (is it just looking for intrigues and keywords), but this thing - couchdb + mass_replication - *can* replace e-mail (think IMAP). And put "state" back into protocol/API-messaging. (eh, with proper setup/code above it). Thus open doors to much more productive intra-device/people communication.
