I would be interested in what your revenue model for the wallet is and how you finance(ed) the development?
So far it has been financed using our own resources.
As for the future, the most basic plan is to finance it by (hopefully) becoming a fully paid delegate and this thread gives us an estimate how realistic this option is.
That sounds like a very solid plan.
How far is the actual development?
Do you have a rough timeline for the release?

It should run under any desktop (including Linux) but not Android as there is no Java VM for Android yet. This may change in the future, as the main reason is not technical but is due to a legal disagreement between Oracle and Google.
Maybe Android and the OpenJDK will get along.
Community efforts like this one:

suggest that sooner or later it will become possible.

XTS a private test net so you run all of the delegates in one process and you'll have to make your own market transactions. On the other hand you have control over all the market transactions.
so it's a private network? like BitShares out-of-the-box? Hem .. I thought it's kind of public with known private keys holding funds .. learn sth new every day :)

Also, is there a test blockchain we could use? (so far all my test have been done in live environment using a test wallet with a small amount of bts but I do realize we need a testing process better than this)
Yes there is ..
it's called XTS and is the develop branch AFAIK:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/tree/develop

There are also some publicly known private keys for XTS that carry funds so you can test but I can't find the URL atm :(

Please note, that there also is DevShares which is like an intermediate network in between XTS and BTS!

//edit: found it:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/develop/dev-test-keys.txt
https://github.com/BitShares/BitShares-JS/tree/master/testnet

This one works for me...

Is it a light wallet of full node setup?
It connects to a full-node .. on a trust basis ..

I agree .. moonstone may be a big competitor .. but .. hasn't released anything yet .. hehe :)

Does anyone know if there is a compiled version of CLI BitShares client available for Mac? In the official download package there seems to be only the GUI, without the CLI.

I need the CLI to be able to test the new Java GUI on Mac. I know I could try to compile it from the source code but I'm trying to find a more general solution. Any chance to include the CLI in the download package for Mac?
I'd recommend to add an issue @ github for this ..
maybe ask them to have cli and GUI build bundled for each operating system or at least for Win, Mac, Ubuntu or so
