Laridian, Inc. Upgrades PocketBible for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs
New version offers color highlighting, tap-and-hold menus and searchable notes.
Cedar Rapids, IA (MobilityNewswire/PRWEB ) April 27, 2006 -- Laridian, Inc., a leading developer of Bible software applications for mobile devices, today announced the release of PocketBible® 3, the new version of its award-winning Bible study application for Windows Mobile™-based Pocket PCs.
PocketBible 3 includes a host of new enhancements that make it easier than ever to read and study the Bible on a handheld. One of the key new features is the ability to choose from 16 colors for highlighting scriptural and other text. Users can now also view lists of notes, bookmarks and highlights so they can refer back to the entered information. Further, users can now specify highlights and bookmarks as parameters when they search text plus they can search through personal notes just like they would a Bible or reference book.
“Bible study is cumulative,” said Craig Rairdin, President of Laridian. “The ability to keep track of what you learn is integral to improving your understanding of the Bible. The new highlighting feature in PocketBible 3 adds an important new tool in this regard. And the ability to easily revisit their notes and bookmarks is something our users have asked for.”
Other new and improved features of PocketBible 3 include:
| | - Context-sensitive “tap-and-hold” menus for access to common functions such as changing books, searching, looking up definitions, copying or highlighting Bible text, adding a note or bookmark, etc.
- Continuous synchronization, resulting in Bibles and books organized by verse staying synchronized as users navigate through the Bible
- Continuous text, eliminating page and chapter breaks in the middle of chapters or books
- Gesture-based navigation, enabling users to tap the screen to scroll through the text
- Categorized book picker—books are now divided into Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, etc.
- Daily reading option, allowing users to track their reading progress through Bibles and devotionals
- New verse chooser which enables users to easily choose a book, chapter or verse from a list
