Pocket MindMap - one of those apps that is a killer for me!
http://www.pocketmindmap.com/
When I get a new device or have to do a hard reset, there are a handful of apps I have that get installed immediately. Pocket Bible, ListPro, eWallet and FITALY are at the top of the list. Pocket Mindmap is also right up there. It is the killer note taker for me allowing me to take freeform notes that are impossible with Word, pen and paper or any other method I've seen.
I also use it for preliminary project planning and even for managing a full project if it is too small to fool with Microsoft Project. You can export the mindmap as a .BMP file to share with those that don't have Pocket Mindmap. You can also export the outline as an HTML file. With a plugin that is currently in beta, you can synchronize with Mindjet's MindManager software. There is a complete visual tour here. Pocket Mindmap is one of those software packages that once you learn the power of, you simply cannot do without. It is also a fantastic showcase of the power of the Pocket PC platform.
They have a 30 day full featured trial or you can buy it for $42 from this Handango affiliate link. Remember to support this site. If you go and try software and decide to buy it, come back here and click through the affiliate links!

I agree with you, Ed. Pocket Mindmap is on my list of indespensible PPC applications as well. Once you come to depend on it, you can't live without it. Anyone who ever has need to organize ideas or information or to brainstorm for creative tasks can make great use of this program. My others are also similar to your: eWallet, Listpro, Fitaly and City Time.

Now, this looks amazing. This is somethat not only does a job, but changes the whole way one interacts with a computer. I don't even know of anything on the desktop that attempts to so completely meld how our mind works with how a computer works.
I suppose one would have to use it for a while before really getting into it, but wow, just WOW.

I've been using PocketMindMap for a little over a year now and after a hard reset it is the first thing I Install after WordLogic Keyboard (with Dutch and English language files) and Pocket Informant :-)
It trully is great, now only hoping that the desktop conversion program will go into Beta 2 finally this week-end....

How does it compare to MindManager Mobile Edition
Hi,
I currently use Midndjet's MindManager Mobile Edition for Pocket PC.... What a name!
The main issue I have with it is that it can't display/pan around a standard mindmap - it only has an overview of the main branches and then drops down into heirarchical lists..
It is nice that when you edit the mindmaps it automatically syncronizes with the full application on my PC (MindManager 2002 Enterprise Edition).
Having spent $$ on this version, I'd need a very good reason to change.
Regards,
PJE

Ed (et al): Is there a place where you can list the software you've mentioned with the affiliate link? I was just thinking that if I decided to purchase this software say, in 3 months, I might have difficulty finding this link. Also, it would be a good place to start anytime I wanted to pick up some new software.
To everyone: Regarding Pocket Mindmap, this is one of those programs that I think I could get some use out of, but I'm not certain how exactly. What does everyone else use this program for? I'm trying to get an idea of how this would help me. Any sample maps you wish to share?
Thanks.

Expensive and addicting!!!
Mindmap appears to be a really interesting app.
It's one of those that I'm almost afraid to try out because it looks to be REALLY USEFUL and gets so many good reviews by users but it's $42!!!
That means you demo the software, get hooked, then have to shell out the dough. I'm ALWAYS working on a project and if it were a bit cheaper, I'd demo it in a heartbeat but I really don't want to get hooked on such an expensive application. That's the same reason I never tried cocaine. Too addictive and expensive for those who get hooked! 8)

Two things here:
1) We've organized it by type, so this is categorized as SOFTWARE - if you ever want to come back and browse again, just go into FORUMS then FRONT-PAGE POSTINGS then SOFTWARE, and browse by subject title.
2) If you want to, you can create your own affiliate link for us to Handango:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProd...roductId=xxxxx
The "XXXXX" is the product ID number which is found in every Handango URL.
As always, I appreciate your support.

i create my powerpoint presentation flow with it and then use the bitmap export as my first slide to show people where i'm going to go.
before most meetings i think through what i want to say or have happen with this software. it makes brainstorming with yourself cake.
i keep my list of current projects in a mind map. add and subtract at will - hyperlink to more detailed word documents when needed.
this software uses more of the full pocketpc os capability than anything else i've tried or purchased including the native software. they are coming very close to sync with desktop version of mindmanager. on their site people were debating the pros and cons of the mindmanagers pocketpc software with the conclusion that pocketmindmap was better.
