Geek iPhone App Review: Headspace
Dec 7th
Name: Headspace
Company: Flat Black Films
Cost: $2.99
Headspace is one of those apps that shows just how cool the iPhone can be. Headspace is a unique iPhone (iPod Touch) app that allows you to do 3-dimensional “mind-mapping” of your ideas. You can create hierarchical lists; group them, link them, move them around, stack them, change their color and transparency. I use this app to bubble article ideas, brainstorm business ideas, layout software interfaces and user interface, or just play with its cool interface. It allows you to get ideas out of your head and on (virtual) paper. Giving you more space in your head ;o). The uses are endless.
Another great feature is the ability to export to a Freemind xml file format and email it to yourself. Freemind is a free (GNU General Public License) mind-mapping desktop application that has similar capabilities as Headspace (not three dimensional).
