Praizehm: This might be a more appropriate question for Tech Support, depending on what problems you’re having. MyBible works fine on a Tungsten.
Look, we just want a basic for now. I’ve downloaded the “Simple Bible” app for free and while it is the KJV, it at least is a Bible everywhere I go. And if WebOS has open code, you can start looking at some of the new Pre apps and start applying them to your algorithms. The best companies are ahead of the curve not following it. Jesus will come when we least expect it. Will we be ready?
Vicky,
I just want to make sure I understand what your eschatology is:
Are you saying that Jesus will come unexpectedly with the sound of a trumpet and in a loud voice cry, “I have returned for my bride, the church! Well, not you guys with Palm Pre’s because all you have is the KJV, but you guys with a complete Bible library on your iPhone, come and dine with me in heaven!”?
Or are you saying it will be more like, “I have returned for …. wait! Hold up! All they have is the KJV on their Pre’s! Turn around, back to heaven” amid the sound of grumbling from the saints and angels?
I just want to make sure I understand what particular heresy you’re accusing us of.
Craig, your July 15th comment about Web OS development vs. iPhone development rings true. I’m a developer (mostly on the Windows platform) and I agree that the Web OS is very, very different to program on. Thanks for getting your app certified for Classic. Hopefully that will help people transition to the Pre (and soon, the Pixi) easier.
That said, I also want to throw my vote in the ballot box for a native WebOS port of your app. My dad has used your app for a very long time on his Palm devices as his primary Bible when he travels. He highly recommends your software. If Palm decides to terminate their support for PalmOS, I do hope you will consider continuing development for Palm users on their new operating system.
Thanks a ton for your product and I look forward to being able to buy your app for my Pre.

P.S. The comment in response to Vicky (Oct 3rd) is hilarious!
interesting that it’s been many months since anyone has left a comment here which sadly reflects perhaps a declining interest of Classic as I too do not like the interface, very dated looking and takes long to boot – I also feel strung along by Simple Bible
The folks at Bits of God Software continue to make progress. I talk to them every week.
We get very few inquiries about webOS. The initial excitement has waned. Very few devices were sold. The company (Palm) was purchased by HP, which has sent mixed signals about its future – saying on the one hand they only bought Palm for their patent portfolio and on the other that they intend to continue manufacturing devices. Meanwhile Android has come along and sucked all the air out of the room.
Again, we have been working closely with Bits of God Software on Simple Bible Pro. Because of our agreement I can’t comment on features or ship dates. You may get more information if you contact them directly.
