FreeMindPDA

There is a version of FreeMind for PDAs under development by Vik Olliver, who has imaginatively titled it "FreeMindPDA". The code is incomplete but Open Sourced under the LGPL, so feel free to improve on it. The code tarball can be downloaded from:

http://olliver.family.gen.nz/software/fm.tgz

This is a complete rewrite 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.

Development is being done under SuperWaba which has free downloadable SDKs and a large number of LGPL support libraries. 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 running on Debian Linux.

This environment currently supports Palm, PocketPC, PocketPC 200x, WinCE, Java, and Windows 32-bit operating systems. Alpha code currently 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.
