MindManager Standard edition (21 day trial) and MindManager Mobile edition for Palm OS (21 day trial).
So far they look really awesome and would make mind mapping so much easier for me! I'm far more comfortable with a mouse & keyboard than a marker & paper *G*
I'll post my results after I try making an actual mind map ..
Ygnius has a nice looking mind mapping program that produces more professional looking mind maps and interfaces with all the MS Office products (including Project). It is business focused and runs $145USD. http://www.ygnius.com
Axon2002 is called an "Idea Processor" and handles all sorts of different visual mapping functionality. It is not as intuitive to use for mind mapping. http://web.singnet.com.sg/~axon2000/index.htm
Visio can do mind maps but it is also much less intuitive than the mind mapping programs.

do you use any of them, or just tried them?
I realized tonight how much I've disliked MM's in the past but how much they could actually help me. Especially with my work related tasks, it's difficult to get my projects started because I don't often know where the begining is.
Some day, I'll get around to trying Ygnius. The ability to export a mind map to Microsoft Project is appealing.
A couple of interesting books on getting started with projects (that aren't "project management" books) are:
