Looking for even more productivity on your iPad? MindMeister has released an iPad version of their collaborative mind mapping application, allowing iPad users to mind map locally and sync with the web version to share ideas with others. We've mentioned MindMeister before, and they were part of our suggestions for mind mapping on the iPhone, but ever since the dawn of the iPad, I've been waiting for it to come to the big screen!
MindMeister on the iPad may not be the most complete mind mapping application available for the iPad, at least as far as bells and whistles. It does its job well, though, and the synchronization with the web version is a huge selling point, at least for me. The web version is my favorite online mind mapping tool, with its real-time collaboration features and very useful integration with external web services. Being able to update and edit my online maps from my iPad is very exciting, indeed.
If you're a mind mapper, or someone who's looking for a new way to share ideas and collaborate with friends and co-workers, definitely check this app out ($7.99US on the App Store). There's a version for the iPhone ($6.99US), and a companion iPhone app for sending quick notes to your maps instantly, called Geistesblitz (free), too. The app functions fine on its own, but really shines when combined with the web version. The Basic plan for the web app is free with 3 maps at a time, and you can get unlimited maps for $59US a year. Check out the pricing plans at the MindMeister website.

It was earlier this week that Jeff Bezos, father of the Kindle and CEO of Amazon was
saying that "A color screen doesn't make an Ernest Hemingway novel any better."
True enough -- the Kindle has a beautiful sharp screen that is a pleasure to gaze at. Not all books, however, are Hemingways, and we're starting to see so-called multimedia titles showing up in the Apple
iBooks Store.
One example is the 'Enhanced Edition' of
Nixonland, by Rick Perlstein, a chronicle of our 37th President. The book contains the full text of the book first published in 2008. It also includes 27 videos of the former President and newsreels that put those turbulent years into perspective.

If you're a card-carrying iOS
developer, trot on over to the
developer page and grab the latest beta of iOS 4.1. As
everyone is
reporting, it's been about two weeks since
4.1 Beta 1 crash-landed, so maybe we're just a couple of weeks away from a release for the rest of us? That'd be nice, considering some
iOS 4 woes on older iPhones, among
other outstanding issues. If anything notable turns up, we'll let you know.
[
thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

The wire services and the
Wall Street Journal are reporting that the Citi Mobile
app that Citibank offered to customers has a security flaw, and that it saved personal account information in a hidden file on users' iPhones. Our own
Mike Rose reports that he got one of Citi's letters to customers warning them about the security issue.
The information saved on the iPhones included account numbers, bill payment information, and even security access codes. If customers synced their phones to a Mac or PC that information would also be on those computers and could theoretically be accessible by hackers.
"We have no reason to believe that our customers' personal information has been accessed or used inappropriately by anyone," Citi said.
The newest version of the Citi app is online and is listed as a 'mandatory' update for customers.

Have I mentioned how much I adore Xcode 4? I would marry it, bear its children
and clean up after it -- that's how much I love it. But Xcode 4 hasn't been readily available for general use. Until now.
As of this evening, you can download Xcode 4 Preview 2 and throw yourself into it's exuberant yum. At least you can if you're a member of one of the paid developer programs. Yes, all that Xcode 4 goodness is now
yours to enjoy, whether you went to WWDC or not.
So point your browser over to
Apple's developer site, log in with your Mac or iPhone paid developer credentials, and download yourself a big hot steaming pile of IDE yum. It's like the chocolate lava volcano cake of development tools.

Gameloft isn't the only company
having a sale this week -- Capcom has also
put most of its iPhone titles on sale for Comic-Con: You can pick up the great
Phoenix Wright for just $2.99,
Ghosts 'n' Goblins,
Dark Void Zero and
Mega Man 2 for just 99 cents, or
Street Fighter IV for $6.99.
Good set of deals to choose from there. I think
that big EA sale a while back set a precedent for price drops like this -- a nice discount on a game quite a few people have been waiting to play can definitely send it catapulting into the top lists on the App Store. Phoenix Wright is definitely worth $3 if you've never played it before, so that title specifically should really benefit from a sale like this.
