What differentiates this from a product like SuperMemo? I see your licensing cost is less ($9.99 vs $50), but I also know much more about what SuperMemo is and the quality of its results.
Or Mnemosyne, which is free and open source. And cross-platform for that matter.
I like the concept, but think it would be better and make more as an ad-supported webapp. It looks too simple to be worth the time to download, scan for viruses, install and run on my already-cluttered desktop. By the way, while I like the Einstein branding, be aware that his 'personality rights' (to use his name and/or likeness commercially) were bequeathed to an Israeli university and the licensing is administered…
Thanks for the warning about the Einstein branding. While I like the Einstein branding very much, it seems that I will have to get rid of it as soon as I get any serious traction.
Finally, by using a small application like this, it'd make it easier to add new features and create new type of application that would use the already-existing questions. For instance, an application could ask questions from time to time while another would enable me to play a game with the questions, etc. However, everyone would be free to only use the app they want.
On a side-note, to have the background service running effect, plug-in in firefox or chrome could also be a good idea - or as a home page.
Idea: Make this a WepApp with a small application only for the popups. So, it could be used on phones and other systems. + The question would be saved in a secure place and I could add and access them from anywhere. Also, I find the main dialog page a bit clumpsy.. too much differents concepts.. a simple application in the status bar would do the job.

The reason that it is a desktop application is that it is able to run in the background, and pop-up a question dialog periodically. On the internet lots of things (for example advertisements) are competing for the the attention of the user. (Sometimes in distracting ways.) This program is also competing for the attention of the user, but it is very useful for her. Thanks for the warning about the Einstein branding. W…
Add an 'I know it, next!' button
Mnemosyne in particular is geared towards learning vocabulary, and includes 'three sided' flashcards for learning the meaning, non-roman characters and pronounciation of a word.
Something you should address in explaining your service is data export. If I am going to load a ton of words into memodrops, how can I get them out if I need to in a format usable in other programs?

It'd be better to get rid of it now, or be prepared to receive a letter demanding a payment of some X dollars. Corbis does not mess around.
