Netherlands] Sammy: Thanks for being a good source of Bible software information for the Palm world. Olive Tree software provides a great package for Bibles and continually adds new books. However, Palm Bible+ remains my favorite reader due to its easy scrolling and split screen synchronized scrolling with a flick of a finger. Additionally, tapping the screen causes a nice steady scroll. This is great when listening to someone read a passage and you want to follow along. Add to this the free cost of all its Bibles, books and the reader, and you've got a winning package.
In contrast, Olive Tree has a more clunky interface as far as scrolling and synchronized scrolling. Sadly, they have no plans to upgrade their Palm interface from all I have been able to discern via email. They constantly are releasing new versions of the Blackberry reader and have now jumped into iPhone world, but the Palm reader languishes with its old style interface save a button or two added and the occasional bug fix. I sure hope they are not going to abandon the Palm world, and I sure wish they'd take a careful look at the Palm Bible+ finger scrolling and split screen synchronization and copy what they see.
