MindManager X5 Pro
Mindmapping is an activity that its users swear by and the uninitiated treat quizzically. Mindmapping software lends itself particularly to Tablet PCs, whose pen-based input makes it far easier and more intuitive to produce mindmaps than traditional mouse-driven computing. Pocket PCs can be handy for mindmapping too — again because of their touch-sensitive screens. <a href="http://www.mindjet.com/uk/">Mindjet</a> produces mindmapping software for both platforms, which can share and synchronise mindmaps. MindManager X5 Pro is not inexpensive at £233 (inc. VAT), but according to Mindjet it 'transforms brainstorming ideas, strategic thinking, and business information into blueprints for action, enabling teams and organizations to work faster, smarter, and with greater coordination'. </p>
