There isn't much to say about this product in relation to other available mapping products, since the price is silly and it's still not as pretty and elegant as Omnigraffle. Nevertheless, in relation to itself, ConceptDraw has taken a big leap forward with their latest incarnations. For anyone that's even seen past ConceptDraw products, you know that they were the most convoluted and hideous looking applications known to humankind-especially because, like, um, this is all about VISUAL communication here! The only remnants of their abhorrent aesthetic past are the symbols and the clipart, but really, does anyone ever expect clipart from any corner of the planet to look any better than zombie vomit? Me neither. So hats off to ConceptDraw for overcoming a major initial obstacle and finally delivering something that is a bit more visually paletteable. And who knows what the future holds in store, maybe someday MindMap will be able to compete on the more visually inspiring (and user glorious) playing field of the likes of OmniGraffle. Of course even if that becomes so, why is it again that I would ever fork out an iPhone's worth for this thing?

If you are going to charge $199 for your product and you are making it Leopard computable - your website needs to fully load in various browsers - (Safari, Firefox) - even when I loaded it "unfiltered" it had many little blue boxes.
Also, make it Pages compatible. There are many of us who no longer use ANY Microsoft products.
It is worth your price? I am trying to figure out what it has over the "Omni" products and several other "mind mapping" programmes that are not even close to the same price but have as much value.
Cheers.
