What this really means is that, regardless of which email service you actually use, Xobni will really be your email hub. They'll have your contacts, attachments, and conversations from all your accounts. I presume Gmail and hotmail releases are in the pipeline too.
Hats off to Xobni, for expanding from the analytics side to being an hub for all email activity.
IE-only... I understand the motivation behind it and take my hat off to their pains (I did lots of IE BHOs/Sidebars in the past - what a miserable job to have), but don't they have to tackle early adopters first? Even among business users, those who'll most likely to discover Xobni are advanced enough to use FF/Safari, just my $0.02.
It is plausible that this wasn't an intentional leak, but it's awfully conveniently timed with the Microsoft-Yahoo deal. This would lose a lot of the buzz if Microsoft-Yahoo had already gone through.
looks cool... would be even cooler if the xobni guys worked at one of these big companies and could fully integrate their ideas instead of hacking together ie addons

Unlikely. It because they are a small bunch that they have the flexibility and drive to crank out things so fast. Once they are part of BigCo, the risk is that they might end up as a milestone on the roadmap to Outlook 2010.
