Windows Phone Thoughts - Daily News, Views, Rants and Raves

Laridian has made some titles previously available for a fee available for free now. All of them work on PocketBible 3.x or higher for Windows Mobile or PocketBible for your Windows PC. If you happen to have a PalmOS device or an iPhone, check their blog for details because a few of the titles don't work on those platforms. The titles are:

• Augustine’s Writings
• Condensed Biblical Cyclopedia
• Foxe’s Book of Martyrs
• Hitchcock Bible Names Dictionary
• Imitation of Christ
• Jamieson-Faussett-Brown Commentary
• Nave’s Topical Bible
• Torrey’s Topical Textbook

I believe all you have to do is add them to your cart and "purchase" them and they will be added to your Laridian library, where you can then download and install.

Laridian has been very busy these last few weeks. First of all, if you have PocketBible 4 for either the Pocket PC/Pro device or Standard/Smartphone device, there is a free update if you are already a 4.x user, so be sure to download that. Fixes and improvements for the Pocket PC are here and for the Smartphone are here. They have also added several new books.

• MacArthur Study Bible Notes
• MacArthur Topical Bible
• Find It Fast in the Bible
• Where to Find it in the Bible
• Women’s Study Bible
• On This Day
• The NIV Study Bible (2008 update)

And because the gift giving season is upon us, if you are interested in giving a Laridian product to someone with a mobile device, see their recommended procedure for doing so. Remember, they support Windows Mobile Pro and Standard devices going back to 2002, PalmOS, Blackberry, the iPhone and the Windows desktop. They even have some content for the standard iPod devices.
