Stealth upgrades - Laridian quiet about their updates
http://www.laridian.com/ce/default.asp
Laridian, the maker of the most popular Bible reader for Pocket PC's, probably updates their software more often than you think. If you look at their revision history for Pocket Bible, you'll find they updated it in January, October and November of 2001, and again this past weekend on March 29, 2002. They have also updated Daily Reader and Naves Topical Bible, and probably a few products and versions I don't own. :-)
If you own their software, head over there and log in to your account and press Download. It will tell you if you have new versions waiting for you. You can also check out the revision history to see if any of the updates or fixes interest you, then set up a recurring task to remind yourself to check back every three months or so.
They also have the English Standard Version (ESV) ready. Doesn't read much differently from the NIV, but includes the nearly 50,000 cross-references and footnotes you would find in printed ESV Bibles. Hmmm.... How much space is left on my 128MB SD card? ;-)

:wink: Maybe they've just taken this humility thing a step too far!
It's a top product and they have plenty to be pleased with in their products.

Anyone interested in the newely released Laridian edition of English Standard Version can get more information about this translation at:
http://goodnews.gospelcom.net/home/esv/
This is a literal translation of the Bible, which reads very well, IMHO. And yes, it contains all cross-references and footnotes of the printed edition.
Cheers.

The updates are free of charge. The bible software actually costs less than $20 (I think I paid ~$10 for it when I 1st acquired it last year using an electronic discount code they e-mailed to customers).

Pocket Bible is the name of the software, and gets updated for new features. For instance, the 3/29 update was to support the ESV footnotes and crossreferences. Daily Reader had to be updated likewise. Bible versions are updated when errors or glitches are found. I've seen odd page breaks, words not being found, etc. I always report them and 99 times out of 100, it is fixed in an update.
No, they are not changing the text. ;-) See Rev. 22:18. :-D

You must have made an impresion 8O . At about 4:30 pm I recieved an email from Laradian outlining there updates. Don't know why but it went to my junk-mail folder in Outlook. Great software, but I don't remember previous update notices.
