#2Interesting that this has appeared here now, since it's been around for quite a while (I first saw colleagues using this nearly 7 years ago). I've only heard good thing about it, though I've never used it myself (not being much of a mac person).
Other similar services include Mendeley [0] (now owned by Elsevier, I believe), gPapers [1] (less functionality, looks defunct), and good ol' bibtex files.

#3I wonder how adoption has been? I'm particularly interested amongst undergraduate students.

Don't forget Zotero (open source).

I know a few people that use it, including myself. However, I can't bring myself to upgrade to version 3. It's just too different for my tastes.

#8I use Zotero. With Lyx/Lyz the workflow is really pleasant.

Similarly, note that Papers is owned by Springer.

That is a very relevant question, since Mendeley is free.
Reading the Web site the only advantage that I found is that it allows you to use your Dropbox account to sync the files, while for Mendeley, if you want more space than a free account offers, you have to pay.
