price of GBP79 GBP, or GBP159 GBP for a new license, at
https://secure.mindjet.com/WebApp/catalog/catalog.aspx. MindManager Version 9
for Mac will be generally available on June 23, 2011 in English, German,
French, and Japanese language versions.

Mindjet's latest Mac release, along with recently announced iPad and
iPhone apps (see separate release at:
www.mindjet.com/press/releases/832), provide a complete suite of
information mapping products for Apple product enthusiasts.

Supporting information:

- MindManager information maps let users quickly capture ideas and
assemble them in visual maps that combine the ease of a whiteboard with the
flexibility of drag-and-drop editing. Built-in tools for organising,
prioritising, and scheduling, along with Apple iWork(R) and Microsoft
Office(R) integration, let Mac users quickly turn ideas, requirements, and
raw research into polished presentations and detailed project plans.

- With over 1.8 million users, MindManager is the world's leading
information mapping solution for both businesses and individuals.

- Unlike documents, presentations, and e-mail, which constrain you to
working on one page at a time, MindManager's visual information mapping lets
business professionals easily capture, organise, and communicate ideas and
information, so you can organise input from multiple sources, clarify
thinking, develop meaningful project plans, structure coherent strategies,
and deliver compelling communications, all within a single environment.

- With MindManager Version 9 for Mac, users will be more organised,
communicate more effectively, and ensure project success.

ideas and visually organise projects, presentations, and strategies.

New Features of MindManager Version 9 for Mac

- For current MindManager customers, MindManager Version 9 for Mac
delivers new capabilities to support brainstorming, via a quick text entry
mode and presentations with an interactive slide format.

- A new user experience is established through more intuitive menu
options, powerful filtering capabilities, and new iconography, as well as
noticeable performance improvements.

- MindManager Version 9 for Mac introduces local integrations, enabling
users to easily export map content into Microsoft Office and Apple iWork
applications without connecting to the Internet.

- Interactive Slide Presentations

- Present work in easy-to-follow slides. Pick and choose topics to
present, adjust their order, and control exactly how you want each branch to
appear. Present different levels of information to various audiences, without
the inconvenience of creating multiple versions. Ensure participation and
alignment by incorporating feedback as you present.

- Quick Entry Mode

- Facilitate collaborative problem solving, capture stakeholder
requirements, and improve meeting management via "quick-entry" capture of
ideas and information. The ability to quickly enter input ensures that
valuable ideas generated in brainstorming sessions and other meetings get
documented and retained for later organisation, prioritisation, and analysis.

- Advanced Importing/Exporting

- Conveniently import and export content to and from existing MindManager
maps. Provides in-product compatibility with Microsoft Office Mac 2011 and
iWork applications, even when offline, thanks to integrated (local)
import/export functions.

- Import content from Microsoft(R) Word and Apple iWork Pages(R) to work
with all relevant data in a single visual environment.

- Create content and then export to Word, Pages, Keynote(R), and various
other formats.

- WYSIWYG Printing

- WYSIWYG(R) printing easily controls how maps are presented. Print the
entire map on a single page, including topic notes. Each slide that has been
created can also be printed, so you can print out exactly what is needed.

- Enhanced Menus

- Formatting Tool bar - Users can now format text similar to how text
formatting is done in iWork Pages.

- Improved Inspector - Inspectors have been modified for improved
usability and users can also open multiple inspectors which improve overall
efficiency.

Improved Notes - Topic notes can now be formatted in-context of the notes
area rather than in the Inspector which should simplify the process.

work with ideas and information in a wide variety of interactive visual
formats, including information maps, outlines, organisation charts, tree
diagrams, and more.

process and ensure visibility into all aspects of a project. Easily gather
requirements and gain stakeholder buy-in on strategies, schedules, and more.

draw connections, and reorder content. Use icons, tags, topic shapes,
callouts, boundaries, colours, topic sorting, and numbering to provide
additional context. Add hyperlinks, attachments, notes, and images to provide
additional levels of detail.

- Information Map Presentations - Communicate effectively to multiple
audiences with MindManager's interactive slide presentations. Easily tailor
the level of details presented for each audience and capture critical
feedback right in the presentation.

from Microsoft Word, Apple iWork Pages, and Freemind(R). Export to Word,
Pages, or Keynote for your final output. Integrate with iChat(R) to send or

pages, images, or dynamic Adobe(R) PDF files.

with MindManager via dynamic Microsoft Entourage and Apple iCal(R), and
Address Book dashboards. Bring the Internet into the map with a built-in web
browser for in-context search and research results.

- Navigation, Viewing, and Printing Controls - Navigate and control the
levels of details displayed with powerful features like topic focus, show or
hide branch, collapse map, quick filter and select, and more. Automatically
