I like to  visualise procedures and ideas. Working at a large Government department that thinks that IE6 is cutting edge the best tools I have access to are the charting options in Word 2003 or an ancient copy of ABC Flowcharter, hardly conducive to the capturing of a free flowing brainstorming session.

I ventured to the App Store to try and find a Mindmapping tool I can use at work via the iPhone. I played with all of the lite versions available and reviewed the details of those that only had paid versions.

In the end it was between between iBluesky and iThoughts. Both apps have the added advantage of being closely compatible with Novamind. They are very similar in features but in the end it was iThoughts lower pricer, better looking maps, elegant copy/move function and multiple export options that won the day.

The only thing lacking is a picture export of the maps, though the developer is very open to suggestions and hopefully will offer this ability in a later version. In the interim I use the screen shot function of the iPhone to generate images.
