There is a PDA version of FreeMind under development, provisionally titled "FreeMindPDA". The code is incomplete, being V0.01, but has left pre-alpha status. FreeMindPDA takes advantage of plain tree control, rather than mind map view. It is licenced under the LGPL; feel free to improve it - particularly the installation instructions. The program works on Palm devices, PocketPCs, Linux, Windows and some Java devices.

FreeMindPDA is a complete rewrite of FreeMind, as the facilities available on a PDA are significantly different to those on a PC; PDAs have smaller screens, do not understand double-clicks or right clicks, and often do not have resizable windows.

Discussion Forum thread on FreeMindPDA is here.

The code tarball, which includes precompiled binaries for all platforms, can be downloaded from here.

Latest information: beforementioned tarball doesn't contain any binaries. Working binaries for PocketPC ARM (Intel XScale, Samsung S3C, and more) are here.

SuperWaba Platform

FreeMindPDA is developed for SuperWaba virtual machine. SuperWaba has free downloadable SDKs and a large number of supporting libraries licenced under LGPL. Documentation on SuperWaba is included in the SDK download. The Ant package is used to control builds, and development is carried out with a standard 1.4.x Java SDK. The author uses Blackdown Java and the Eclipse IDE (contains its own Ant) running on Debian Linux.

SuperWaba supports Palm, PocketPC, PocketPC 200x, WinCE, Java, and Windows 32-bit operating systems; SuperWaba's alpha code supports native Linux and Symbian platforms, but is not suitable for general release. Contact vik ( a t ) diamondage d0t co d0t nz if this is a must have for you.
