Autosave" ~~if it~~ was a ~~new~~ map.		* If the editing session is interrupted (phone call, sync, etc.) eMind should continue where the user left off. It should also handle the "! Autosave" file more cleanly by (at least) telling the user that a new file was created for a map that didn't have a filename yet. That way the user can take the appropriate action by renaming or deleting the file, or whatever the user desires.
			* Cut, copy and paste of nodes (and possibly text) should work across different files.

	[[User:Clevans\|I (Clevans)]] am working on a native FreeMind ~~client~~ for iPhone.		[[User:Clevans\|I (Clevans)]] am working on a native FreeMind application for iPhone.

	Unfortunately, since the iPhone does not support Java, a straight port is out of the question. I have created a native application called "eMind" which looks very similar to FreeMind but is a "from the ground up" new application. The interface has been reworked to fit the iPhone's unique strengths, such as multi-touch. Since eMind is not supported by the same development team as FreeMind and shares no code with it, I have chosen a new name (based on my last initial) for the iPhone version to highlight these differences. I hope this difference in name will help to abate confusion between the two applications.		Unfortunately, since the iPhone does not support Java, a straight port is out of the question.
