Mind Mapping Project Management on the iPhone

Over the past few weeks, I've been playing with mind mapping applications on the iPhone.

When I'm mobile and I don't have my laptop or good 'ol pen and paper, I use this nifty iPhone application to take notes and build a mind map.
If you have an iPhone, then a must-have application is SimpleApp's SimpleMind application for the iPhone.  The application is available via iTunes...just search for SimpleMind or mind mapping.  It is a zero cost application and is a useful utility for mobile brainstorming.

Several basic features include:

• Easy to use - drag, arrange end edit topics on the Mind Map page.
• Apply visual styles - change colors, borders and lines for maximum presentation impact.
• Undo/Redo in the editor - makes editing and experimenting easy.
• Reorganize Mind Map structure - use drag and drop to restructure Mind Maps aided by topic auto-layout.
• Cut/Copy/Paste - move or duplicate topics between Mind Maps.
• Large Mind Map page support - diagram size is only limited by memory. Scroll, zoom and rotate page.
• Re-order Mind Maps in the Mind Map list.
• Upload your Mind Maps to a (configurable) web-server and share Mind Maps with other SimpleMind users through your Mind Map index on the SimpleMind web-server. (**)
• Download Mind Maps - open, view and edit SimpleMind Mind Maps from other SimpleMind users.
• Share Mind Maps as jpeg image via the iPhone Camera Roll.

From a project management perspective, I find it to be a useful tool...especially if you're pulled into a meeting and don't have anything but your trusty iPhone to take notes.
I've been using it for a few weeks now and it is a great application!

Gotta love the iPhone!
