MindMeister’s Geistesblitz Tools goes iPhone

Don’t know you have heard about MindMeister, but it’s a great web-based mind mapping tool which allows creation of mind maps by multiple users in real time — and which I personally use. And guess what, they’ve decided to get some media attention by adding support for Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s handset.
To be fair, it’s not the complete service you’ll be able to access from your iPhone. Rather the Germany-based company decided to “iPhone-ize” their Geistesblitz Tools, allowing users to quickly submit their ideas (or Geistesblitzes) to a default map in MindMeister. The ideas are inserted in a special branch top left of the root and remain there for you to copy to other maps, or move around within the default map.
Finally in case you’re wondering what the hack “Geistesblitz” means, it’s literally translated as mind flash – a sudden insight or idea, often brilliant and unexpected…
Geistesblitz is german. It’s a idea that comes from one moment to another,
ah you already said it.
So, it’s basically like a high-tech notepad? I’ve never used that service.
Mindmaps are more than high-tech notepad:
