I had a chance to preview this product about a month ago, and it’s very cool to be able to use a mind mapping application and store your map files on a tiny, self-contained device like a USB key. The software on the key is immediately recognized by Windows, and creates a virtual drive for storing files as well as loading the full version of MindMapper (not a scaled down copy) into your system tray. This is such a cool idea that I’m a bit surprised that no one has thought of it before. Here’s my writeup about MindMapper USB: http://mindmappingsoftwareblog.com/new-mindmapper-2008-usb-edition-lets-you-take-your-maps-everywhere/

Yes, Just to reiterate both the points above.
1) Freemind has all the features that I want and need.
2) It is easy to package up to take on a USB stick. I even put a Java installation on my stick “just in case”.

Been through just about all the mindmapping software and haven’t found a valid reason to pay for one yet.

I have never used MindMapper before but I have been using open source FreeMind for quite some time on my USB key and it works fantastic for all that I use it for. It also appears that development on FM has really taken off.
