MindBerry. MindMaker. iBluesky. With the launch of Apple’s iTunes AppStore, the number of applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch have literally exploded. Not surprisingly, the number of visual mapping applications for this popular platform is also starting to grow. The latest mind mapping tool for the iPhone is iBlueSky, developed by Tenero Software Limited, and it appears to have achieved a remarkable balance between simplicity and functionality. Although I haven’t had an opportunity to use it (I don’t own an iPhone – yet!) , the developer has conveniently launched a video of iBlueSky in action on YouTube that provides a great overview of what this diminutive map app can do.
The user interface appears to be a masterpiece of simplicity, with only buttons to access your list of maps, add and delete topics, and to access cut, copy, paste, and e-mail commands. It’s designed to preserve as much of the iPhone screen to display your maps. SimpleMind. iPhone & Blackberry.
