Priced at only a (UK) pound, Mind is an interesting application from the Ovi Store - it takes a well recognised organisational technique, that of mind mapping, and places it in a Java application on your smartphone. With a system of vector graphics and smart links, there's a lot to recommend it, but ultimately the Java interface and necessarily limited screen size mitigate against it, or so reckons Ewan in his review of Mind.
Read on in the full article.
A very fair review Ewan.
Mind-mapping software is an outliner in pictures. It's really for people who prefer playing with their food to enjoying a meal.
The above comment might be witty but is also totally inaccurate. I've used mind maps on a number of occasions for both work and also while studying. I also go for long periods where I don't need to use them. When I do though nothing can beat them. For studying, they are a great note taking tool that help me remember as well as acting as a great reference document. For work, they are a great brainstorming tool to quickly pull out ideas, say for a meeting I've suddenly found out I've got to go to in five minutes or to do a sweep of all the tasks I might need to think about for a new project.
I know plenty of people who don't find them useful and that's fine, I'm all for leaving people to use what works for them so please extend people who do find them useful the same courtesy.

There is also a YouTube video that shows it in action:

Works well on the inside screen on the E90 which is nice...
