PocketBible Now on Android

Posted By on February 21, 2013

After a lengthy beta period, Android users can smile: PocketBible (from mobile Bible application stalwart Laridian) has finally hit the Android Play store.

Folks that became familiar with the application on PalmOS and WinMo will be happy to discover that accounts will still work, along with compatible materials (translations, books, plans, etc.) already owned. Additionally, it is still a great offline option post-download.

For new and legacy members alike, the Laridian store is as expansive as ever, with plenty of free materials for download. Of course, licensed materials from sources like Tyndale and Zondervan available for purchase as well.

Run PalmOS Apps on Most Mobile Devices

Posted By on August 15, 2012

There are, unequivocally, two types of people: those who used Palm OS and those who wished they had.

For a lot of people, PalmOS was the platform. From handheld digital assistants to early Treo smartphones, Palm devices were some of the first that showed us that we could “do” on the move. Thus, plenty of tech heads fought tears when HP officially pulled the plug on PalmOS successor WebOS last year.

My New Favorite App: DGT GTD (Getting Things Done)

Posted By on January 6, 2012

When it comes to to-do apps, I am EXTREMELY picky. I have to be, since my mind is a bit, well, flighty.

My preferred configuration has evolved over the years. My litmus test used to be the famed Datebk5 from Palm: desktop and handheld intertwining at its finest. Since then, I have gravitated to cloud functionality. I learned that it was best to get software that I have a reasonable chance of finding on other platforms, and also had a web component that allows me to access data from anywhere that has an internet connection.

How Do You Choose Smartphone Apps?

Posted By on July 11, 2011

I am definitely an apps guy.

I pick mobile OS’s based on functionality. I believe apps extend that functionality. Even when I used a BlackBerry, I liked the fact that I had all the apps I needed.

My love for apps clashes with my need for mobile order. I hate keeping apps I don’t use enough. Some of it hearkens back to my BB days (spinning hourglass, anyone?) and some of it is plain app drawer OCD (even rows look better, no?).

The point is, apps have to earn the right to be installed on my device. Even though space has never been a concern on my EVO, I religiously cull unused applications periodically.

So, how does an app earn the glorious honor of residing on my device for more than two days?

Is Messagease The New Smartphone Keyboard We Are Looking For?

Posted By on May 22, 2011

Recently, we looked at a relatively new keyboard for Android, 8pen, who is hoping to reinvent the keyboard for the modern day smartphone.

By way of an update, I need to confess that it didn’t even last one full day on my phone. It’s a big learning curve, and I think that in this “fast food” culture, I’m not sure if 8pen is going to cut it; at least certainly not for me, I just don’t have the time.

However, someone within our community came up with another recommendation for a keyboard that was designed specifically for the smartphone in mind. So Mark, thank you!

Foursquare for Increasing Customer Loyalty!

Posted By on February 16, 2011

I have always felt that so many businesses and ministries are missing a treat by not utilizing the ever-growing use of Foursquare.

The other day I noticed that a friend of mine, Josh Chalke, had received a letter from Foursquare relating to the coffee shop that he manages at Church.co.uk in London.

The Veer: Small webOS Handset by HP

Posted By on February 11, 2011

HP Veer? One person wrote:

It’s about the size of a credit card, but has all the functionality of a full webOS device built into that 2.6-inch, 320×400 screen. It’s got HSPA+, 8GB of storage inside, and a Snapdragon 7230 CPU running at 800MHz. Hey, and it runs Flash!

Not too shabby. My wife likes small form devices; I’m going to take a look:
