This information often includes infrastructure such as routers, switches and IP phones but can also be logic flows for IVR (Interactive Voice Response) systems and how calls are treated coming into a customer's call center. Until now such diagrams while 'on the go' required my laptop and Microsoft Visio. Now, thanks to Matter and Motions, all I need is my Windows Mobile device."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_clintonfitch_matters_and_motion_review.jpg" /><br /><br />He's right. While most all other Microsoft Office applications have been brought (or is in progress of being brought) to the mobile, a Visio-like equivalent has been relatively overlooked. If you're looking for a mobile diagram/flowchart-type of tool, check out Clinton Fitch's review of First Diagramming and give us your thoughts!

At work and haven't have a chance to test it out yet but the first impression is: Pocket MindMap may have some serious competition in terms of features and functionality and its coming from a lower price point. I'll be really interested in the PPC to Desktop transfer options and if there is a Desktop companion.

UPDATE:Too good to be true, I guess. On my Tosh e800 (WM2003 First Ed / VGA) the app ran three times without problems and looked really interesting. Then on the fourth and fifth attempts the directory listing would come up and the program would behave like it was drawing but the screen would not update from the directing listing (The top and bottom menu bars were accessible but the program screen was frozen). On the sixth run it briefly put up the directory listing background graphic before crashing and closing. And that's all it does now. Oh well, maybe it'll work better on the Sharp W-Zero3...
