Mindmaker for iPhone

A few months back I was checking out my colleague’s computer. Actually, I was upgrading his software to the latest and greatest version and I noticed that he had a big white sheet of paper printed out on his desk full of color and all sorts of interesting shapes and things. I asked him what in the world all that was about and he told me that he was organizing his thoughts for a current transportation project and introduced me to a piece of software called MindManager. It looked interesting and some of it reminds me of the stuff I did a while back on a project via Curio but I tend to want to map out more things at home than work so my first question was if there was a Mac version. There is Mandmanager 7 for Mac but I thought it looked a bit too much like just a Mac port so I was a bit leary and found Curio a bit more to my liking. If you are interested in Mind Mapping on the Mac there is a nice list of mind mapping software via Wikipedia. For those of you with an iPhone, there is a mind mapping software for the iPhone called Mindmaker that has me quite excited coz generally when I have a bunch of ideas floating around in my brain I’m mostly away from my computer. Its $5 for the App perhaps I’ll put this on the Christmas list…

You may also want to try out iBlueSky, which offers some functionality above and beyond that of MindMaker. Some people find the interface more intuitive, depending on personal taste
