I've payed for it anyway, still running a G4 Powerbook...so I think I'll pass on this update until they actually include a few improvements and/or new features...!
It's still one of the best multimessenger apps out ther, though...!
Nor sure why, but I'm experiencing all kinds of problems with it: It won't go to work after I change prefs and restart it, it doesn't update after the first run of 5 articles, I can't get it back after I click the 'close window' button, the window sits there overlapping other stuff and can't be moved...
It's a nice idea and I would have liked to use it, but it just doesn't behave the way it should...!? :-( (PoweBook G4 with 10.4.7 German)
WOW! Great improvement! Much much better than the previous version, much closer to the PC version and yet nicely implemented for the Mac...! Why did that take so long though...?!?
Improved and yet useless -- at least for me, that is! It still doesn't support WYSIWYG editing on many blog systems that I use, only offers me like 1/3 of the options available...!? It doesn't work with the new Yahoo! Mail and even though that's probably a glitch on Yahoo!'s side, it's a problem for me...! It still doesn't autocomplete URLs, still shows some weird behaviour with some websites, the interface is still as cluttered as it used to be...and so on...
I just want a good reliable fast working web browser -- not a universal net app that's trying to implement BitTorrent and Mail and RSS and...now Widgets...!?! Well, and from my point of view it's not really that much faster than the other browsers anyway...
So Safari still is my favourite and as much as I'd like to use it primarily, I'm stuck with that stupid FireFox for the sakes of some compatibility issues...! And Opera is no alternative either, not even with this new 9.0 release...too bad...!
They've added a few nice new features for the newly named version, but it's not really that much improvement over MHS to justify the extreme upgrade pricing...! :-(
I guess I'll just stick with the old software then, instead of spending about 50 Euros for a few GUI gimmicks...
But for all others who haven't considered the app yet -- you should definitely check it out, if you're a serious mobile user...! It sure is worth the initial price, I just consider the upgrade too expensive...

How come endo looks so cool and ecto so "OS 9ish"...?!
A sleeker and sometimes more intuitive interface would be really great...
