The folks at MindJet have finally put into place their powerful Mind Mapping Software for the iPhone and iTouch platform.
And its pretty steep at USD7.99. Cheaper than Appigo Todo but nevertheless it should be worth the money.
MindJet have been creating a smashing Mind Mapping desktop client that integrates well with Microsoft Suite of products.
So how good was this? I didn’t manage to test it out but take a look at the video right below this post. It should give you a comprehensive look at what it is capable of.

How do you Upload and Download Maps?
The way to upload is the same as GoodReader which i mentioned here. It should make use of WebDAV protocol and should be a breeze. Just click on Transfer in the MindJet iPhone software and a url to your iPhone Device will pop out.
Click on that link and you are able to upload and download Mind Maps
What format is supported?
Do note that it supports only uploading and downloading in .xmmap format, which is not the normal MindManager format. Its not so much of a problem as you can open up the map in your Windows client and Save As xmmap format.

Overall its a smashing new application on the App Store. This is really good offering to your normal GTD To Do list like OmniFocus, Things and Appigo ToDo in that you can really plan your Goals and see how they link up.
