Mindmapping Resources

We’re looking into using Mind mapping at work as a means of capturing customer requirements when we’re onsite and then using this mind map to draw up a Technical Requirements Specification. I was asked to write up a list of software as I’d had quite a bit of experience trailing different mind mapping products.

Below is a list of some of the software I found. If any one has any more (preferably free) ideas, please post a comment!
