Wrike is a web-based project management software package adopting a three-pane view. It integrates with Google Apps and offers an API, but does not have any contact management functions.
Wrike's task management is among the most powerful (see the dynamic timeline video, https://www.wrike.com/demo-video-tutorials.jsp#dynamic-timeline-gantt-chart). You can associate a task with multiple projects, drag and drop tasks to re-prioritize, get an overview of how things are going in the Gantt timeline, watch the activity stream to see what your team is doing, and drive the entire task management process via email from any client by CC-ing wrike@wrike.com.
The Gmail contextual gadget is limited, in that it lets you create tasks from emails (although the body of the email, or a reference to it, aren't imported). Later, when you return to the email, you can see the task opened right beneath it, but if there is a new email in the thread, Wrike won't identify that the thread belongs to the same task. Also, in the task itself in Wrike's workspace, there is no link back to the email. Since Wrike doesn't support contact management in any way, the Gmail gadget doesn't address any of the contacts referenced in the email.
Integration with Google Docs allows for attaching a Google doc to a task or project easily, or create a new one on the fly.
Project and task descriptions and task notes accept rich text. There are keyboard shortcuts for task management and updating the your status in the activity stream.
Wrike does not have user forums. Instead, it relies on its Facebook page, and on the Uservoice page for suggesting features (where each user can suggest a maximum of 10 features).
There are no custom fields - http://vote.wrike.com/forums/125507-general/suggestions/2249473-allow-me-to-make-my-own-custom-fields-within-a-tas
Google calendar integration is only one way.
