Inbox is getting better and better; I registered it two or three versions ago and it has progressed a lot, mainly in terms of stability. I hope they continue improving Inbox and get a little inspiration from OmniFocus :)

Where Inbox stands out from the current small crowd of GTD apps is that it tries to computerize as much as possible of the entire GTD process, and not just act as an electronic version of your notebook and filing cabinet. For instance, in addition to letting you enter items with a global hot-key at any time, it can also monitor Mail, iCal, bookmarks, or files, and collect everything new for you automatically, so you can sort through it to identify tasks at a time of your choosing.

Inbox is quite usable now, though not quite 'rock-solid'; say, 'oak-solid'. The few glitches are minor, like drag-and-drop re-ordering of lists not always 'taking', not like losing stuff.
They are working on Inbox 2, now, and will offer it as a free upgrade to Inbox 1 owners. The Inbox 2 development process is a lot more disciplined, so Inbox 1's disappointingly long beta phase should be much shorter for its succcessor.

I like the idea, but it’s still very buggy and crashes a lot.

Handles all kinds of PDFs and is like iTunes for documents, but the latest Preview 3 is very buggy at best. But to be expected - it's a preview, not a release.

This will be a wonderful application, hopefully sooner than later. It should be free to use. They call it a Preview, but there's a time limit on the software, and you have to pay for buggy software to keep playing with it. So be warned. But -- hopefully these guys will put out something fantastic...soon...

I have just started using this and the version count is up to 1.01, now. It is fantastic. I paid for it within 2 days. The major bugs people have been talking about have not shown up for me, and I am really happy with how this works. I admit, I mainly have medical type PDFs, and can say it works mamzingly well for those. Well worth a look if you have more than 50 PDF papers somewhere on your maching (I found them in 6 different locations).

For all of those still experiencing occasional crashes when editing the info for a PDF, go into preferences and disable "Create Subdirectories" and "Rename PDF Files as".

This will fix the problem, which is still there in 1.0.1

An amazing programme especially for people in medical and life sciences research. This will be a life saver for any person undertaking a PhD to manage their library of articles.

Well-designed software that, as another user pointed out, is like iTunes for academics.

Unfortunately (for me) it currently supports medical researchers moreso than other scientists, but hopefully that will change in future versions. The document search and full-screen reader are quite convenient.

if your'e into academia then this is a must have :-)

Papers 1.5 now supports several search engines such as Google scholar and Web of Science and Scopus, and now allows for new plugins to other search engines to be easily inplemented. Plus Leopard support and the possibilities to drag your articles directly as a citation into a manuscript that you are writing.

(Disclosure: I'm a happy betatester)

Nicer interface than any other software for scientific articles.

This app is just brilliant! Does everything you could possibly want and if you're in academia it will save you sooo much effort. The smart collections are great and you can select a bunch of files and export them to bibtex. Also, if you have loads of pdfs without the metadata, the match functionality helps. A lot.
