eBible for Palm

For those who like myself do serious Bible Study on their PDA's, Thomas Nelson has a relatively new offering: eBible for Palm. This is quite an impressive offering, and for the type of Bible study that I do, the best of the offerings for the Palm that are available. Click on the link to see an excellent review by Tanker Bob.

I've always tended to use my Pocket PC for Bible study because the resources available with Pocket e-Sword and Laridian's Pocket Bible have always been superior to anything offered on the Palm. (QuickVerse has new versions of their programs out, but since they don't offer trial versions anymore that I can find, I've not tried them). While eBible still doesn't offer the wealth of resources of Laridian's Pocket Bible or Pocket e-Sword, it's getting there and what's available with the Deluxe Bundle is impressive. This is a relatively new program and they list a ton of resources that will be available in the near future.

Version 1.0 - the current version - does have display issues on the Zodiac in landscape mode, and there are some anomalies even in portrait (such as commentary and Bible verses not synchronising, not jumping to the correct selected verse, and others), but again, these issues should be corrected in the next version. Landscape mode isn't supported on either the T3 or Zodiac and this is mentioned. However, even with these issues, the program is very usable and very reasonably priced.
