Here is a comprehensive mind map of creativity and brainstorming apps for the Apple iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Mobile devices. It includes tools for brainstorming new ideas, recording them and mind mapping apps.
A set of four colored icons are included in this map to help you understand which apps are available on which platforms (I wasn’t able to find any for Windows Mobile, but that’s likely to change as this mobile platform grows in popularity). Plus, each tool’s name and icons are “hot spots” – if you click on them, you will be taken to a web page where you can learn more about that application. Click on the image at right to access the full, clickable mind map, or click here.
This mind map was a little challenging to create. XMind Pro enabled me to create and import new map symbols. So far, so good. When I got done populating this map, however, I discovered, much to my chagrin, that it doesn’t support exporting to a clickable image map. I ended up exporting this map to a GIF image. I then had to open it in Adobe Fireworks and manually create each of the clickable hot spots. A little time consuming, but still a very useful end result! Hopefully, this is a capability that XMind Pro will support in the future!
