LARKSPUR, Calif., April 30 PRNewswire-AsiaNet - Mindjet, the leading vendor of productivity-boosting visual tools for brainstorming and planning, today announced availability of MindManager 2002 for Tablet PC. A fully pen-enabled note-taking application, Mindjet's new Tablet PC version has gained the Support of Microsoft and major Tablet PC makers for its ability to connect personal notes to the world of team collaboration and decision making. Featuring 18 pen gestures and tight integration with Microsoft Office, MindManager 2002 for Tablet PC lets users build concise visual documents -- called maps -- that allow people to easily capture, organize and share unstructured information typical of meetings, planning sessions and brainstorming. Equipped with Mindjet's new application, information workers can take full advantage of the informality and mobility of the Tablet PC to achieve better information sharing, more effective meetings and increased productivity of both individuals and teams.

"Because of the way MindManager integrates gestures and inking into the Tablet PC interface, my team can focus on the formation and refinement of our ideas in a very natural manner," says Steve G. Weiss, manager of information technology for Priority One Packaging Machinery Ltd. "Not only do I have a tool that captures the development of ideas, but using the map structure, I can communicate those ideas faster and with greater flexibility than if I used text alone."
