On my old Windows Mobile cell phone, I used to have all of EGW's writings as a part of Laridian's PocketBible application. Thankfully for us iPhone/iTouch users, this convenience is finally about to come to our mobile devices! Several of my friends and family members have been asking me for updates about this so I decided to just blog about it.
I've been in touch with the guys at Laridian and the guys at the White Estate regarding this milestone for a while, and today my friend at the White Estate was gracious enough to give my iPhone access to these writings through the PocketBible app enabling me to get a sneak peak at what will become available hopefully by the end of November to the general public.
As my previous blog post mentions, you can already download "The Conflict" of the Ages series for iPhone. To the latest of my knowledge, the developer of that iPhone app is still working with the White Estate to get all of EGW's writings ported into his app as well. Even though this release with PocketBible is exciting, I still think there is room for another app to have her writings as well. I say this because there are currently some downfalls to the way PocketBible treats the EGW books that "The Conflict" doesn't have. Some of these downfalls include no ability to highlight a paragraph, and awkward navigation (no ability to scroll through content, only paging). Both of these limitations are not present with the currently available "The Conflict" app.
As for the most popular question I've been getting, the White Estate is estimating the price of their mobile CD to be around $20 which will include her writings for other smart phone platforms as well. This CD should be available for purchase off of the White Estate website hopefully by the end of November.
Now if we can just get EGW's writings to run on the Mac OS easily without having to use an emulator! That is one of my next endeavors.
