Any PDA Users?

[Wild_Thrasher]

Any one use any good Bible programs on their PDA?


I use 2 seperate Bible programs on mine. One has the NKJ version, both Old and New Test. The other is a New Test. only of the TNIV.


Each program has their Pros/Cons.


Anyone have a version of a Bible Reader that they are very happy with?

I have an Apple Newton 2100 that I've heard has some very good bible software. Never looked into it, though.

I have a Compaq iPaq 3950 and got a free online bible reader installed on it with serveral versions of the bible (including a hebrew version )

I have an ipaq but I only know of one, sorry. To use it you must install Linux on your Ipaq to use it. I'm guessing you don't have an Ipaq or run Linux on it so I won't bother with a link even though it is a great bible study program. I'm running windows on my ipaq so I cant use it either. If I knew of a program that you could download then I'd post a link for you but I don't know of any yet.

I have a demo version of Laridian's Pocket Bible on my Toshiba Pocket PC.

Ahh yes, I remember reading about this back in early development from some Ipaq software site. Thanks for the link, S Walch.

So I downloaded it and installed KJV and Darby and it worked fine. Sad to say there are really not many ad-on modules for it though. But there are a few things I use from the list and I don’t use my Ipaq for serious study anyway (reference tool). Here is a link to that software I mentioned. It runs on the Qtopia operating system and has 250 ad-on modules/books (mainly classics ) If I didn’t already have all these modules on my other computers as I do then I’d probably rip windows off of my Ipaq and install Qtopia to run this. http://www.crosswire.org/qpsword/

I run Laridian on mine...complete with NIV, NRSV, and the Message. I also have a DailyReader which has several "through the Bible" plans.

If you are a preacher and use the revised common lectionary, you might want to check out www.textweek.com, which has a PDA section on their website. If you use avantgo in conjunction with textweek, you can always have the next two weeks worth of lectionary readings and study materials on your PDA. Great function!

Peace,

I have a decent palm Bible, but I would really like to have more bible versions for it. PDA is a PalmOS system, tiny screen.

no no, my PDA runs on a windows OS

Palmtops and PDA's might look the same, but they're different machines

Actually PDA stands for Personal Directory Assistant and is a general name for any handheld computer. Palm has their own Operation System that runs on their PDA’s and also runs on some other manufacturers PDA’s. You also have other PDA’s that run Windows and Linux as well. Those are three major commercial OS’s I know of for PDA’s and I’m sure there are other OS’s out there.

/me thought PDA stood for Personal Digital Assistant...

There is a marketing shift to begin calling PDAs which run Windows "PocketPCs"

Peace,
