Smartphone User Stereotypes
I thought this was hilarious, despite being an iphone user. I saw it one CNET’s Technically Incorrect, but it was originally on C-Section Comics.
Guest Post on Monday Morning Review
Posted by Peter in Bible, Blogging, Christianity on July 19, 2010
Regular readers will know that from time to time I write my pastor’s Monday Morning Review on his blog of same name.
It’s typically a recap of the previous day’s sermon and the goings on of our church. However, all of you non-member, iPhone/smartphone users might be interested in my short list of free Bible apps (there’s 5 to be exact) about midway through the post.
Enjoy!
iPhone App-KJV Bible Audiobook
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations, Christianity on March 23, 2010
This past weekend I downloaded an iPhone app that I love. It is the KJV Bible Audiobook.
I am unfamiliar with the developer (iTourSoftware) or the church affiliation, but the app is first rate. It is much more than an audiobook. It is really a KJV Bible application with the option to listen. The user interface, search function, bookmarks and notes features are simple to use and more than adequate for their purpose.
This app won’t replace a Bible study app like Logos, but the audio function definitely makes this app worth having. I have downloaded, tried and erased several iPhone Bible apps, but this one is a keeper.
And best of all it’s free. You can donate, of course, and the proceeds support a good cause as best I can tell. I haven’t found where the app is available for other smartphones, so sorry non-iPhone users.
Note: since the app contains the entire audio KJV Bible, it will take a while to download on wifi (it took me almost an hour), or you can transfer from iTunes. But, the app loads and runs fast and I have not noticed any side effects from the file size. Enjoy!
New iPhone is Available for Pre-Order
Posted by Peter in Bible, Blogging, Cool Stuff on June 11, 2009
You can now pre-order the new iPhone 3G(s) and get it by June 19.
It’s been six months since I cracked the screen on my (then) new iPhone, and I can only now talk about it.
And just in time for the release of the new iPhone 3G(s).
I was a hard-core Palm guy in a previous life, but life, since the iPhone, has taken on new meaning.
Think of the world before the printing press, and the world after the printing press. Yeah, it’s that good. And it’s getting even better.
What’s new:
- picture and video MMS (which is big, and you know what I mean, if you’re an iPhone user)
- 16gb & 32gb models
- video recording and editing
- 3 megapixel, autofocus, tap-to-focus camera
- voice control
- better battery life, and other pretty cool stuff.
The price? $199 for the 16gb and $299 for the 32gb with 2-year contract. Currently contracted att users can still get discounted iPhones by renewing for another 2 years, and if I’m not mistaken those prices are $399 & $499 respectively.
So, what does this have to do with the Bible? Nothing, other than there are a lot of really cool Bible apps you can use for Bible reading and study. I prefer Olive Tree, but there are others.
And it’s therapeutic for me to talk about it now-six months later. So, indulge me while I kick back on my therapist’s couch (which is, for the time being, this blog).
Oh, and you can, of course, do all of your WordPress blogging and blog reading from your iPhone if you so choose.
