It’s coming...changing the way you Mind Map, forever! iMindMap for the iPad
When we at ThinkBuzan saw the iPad, it was love at first sight. Why? We were seeing the next chapter of Mind Mapping, in front of our very eyes. As anyone who has tried out the iPad knows, it is a revolutionary product, and iMindMap will be the perfect application for this organic and touchable tool.
Now, the launch for the iMindMap app for iPad is fast approaching, and we cannot wait to hear what you think about this next dimension of Mind Mapping. Until then, let us whet your appetites with a first look at iMindMap for iPad’s functionality...
Bigger and brighter than ever before
iMindMap Mobile Pro has proven to be popular around the globe, due to the physical experience of drawing – which triggers the kinaesthetic link between thinking and moving which can make hand-drawn Mind Maps so powerful. Imagine this experience using the iPad, where the dimensions of the screen mimic a blank canvas to Map across. The iPad enhances this ‘hand-drawing’ experience with a library of useful icons, the ability to attach notes, the option of Speed Mind Map Mode and of course an endless virtual page to spread your thoughts across.
Use the iPad as the bridge between your iMindMap Desktop organisation and in-depth planning, and your iPhone’s spontaneous idea bursts. Plus, the iPad is a great platform to get your message across simply and demonstrate your ideas, as you can use it to show a client a strategy, or to present a sales pitch, or to simply brainstorm creative thoughts with a colleague or classmates.
Building on the success of iMindMap Mobile Pro
The iMindMap application for the iPad will include the existing features of the current iPhone application, with added functionality.
Adapted to fit the larger dimensions of the iPad with full screen Mind Mapping, the app’s icons and central ideas will be sharper and brighter than ever before. Draw branches more smoothly and quickly, for seamless Mind Mapping. Speed Mind Map Mode has been improved to be even faster, for instant idea access. Organising your Maps will be easier than ever before, as the iPad app includes a brand new interface for selecting your saved Maps in a more visual and engaging way.
Revolutionising Mind Mapping
The iMindMap for iPad app is set to change the way we think about Mind Mapping, and will act as a vital addition to the growing iMindMap product suite: however you want to Mind Map, we will have the product to fit.
Don’t forget about iMindMap Mobile Pro!
Coming soon, we will be updating the iPhone application to ensure that everything is running smoothly, for ease of use and functionality.

Tony Update: Rest and Relaxation Prescribed for the On-the-Go Globetrotter
As anyone who has ever met Tony will know, he is a one-man dynamo. Travelling for 8 of the 12 months of the year, Tony works tirelessly to spread the word of Mind Mapping across the world, offering his services to exalted heads of government, leading organisations, disadvantaged children and university students. With all of this travelling, exertion and effort, it’s unsurprising that even the ever-active Tony needs a rest.
As some of you will be aware, Tony broke his leg some weeks ago and underwent major surgery to rectify this. Tony has now been ordered by his medical advisors to suspend all travel arrangements for the time being. He is now making a speedy and positive recovery, and we can’t wait to have him fighting fit again.
Until Tony regains his full strength, he has entrusted his life’s mission to his long-time friend and student, Chris Griffiths, the CEO of ThinkBuzan. Tony has said that he is “in no doubt that Chris will be able to skilfully take the reins whilst I am away...I am certain there is no better man”. Chris Griffiths was appointed as CEO as the second expert in Mind Mapping worldwide next to Tony Buzan, and is proud to act as Tony’s ‘First Lieutenant’ while Tony recovers.
Meanwhile, Tony is still monitoring his Twitter account (continuing his mission for global literacy even while stationary!) and we know he would be delighted to receive any messages of support or get well wishes. Or why not send Tony interesting or humorous stories, memories of Mind Mapping or anything that you would like, he would be very appreciative of your time.
