Hi there team. :)
With the recent postings about another online Bible server (swordd) and The Bible Tool also being written, I got to thinking about accessing the Bible online with my mobile phone (WAP, I guess). does anyone know of any existing services for this? If not, the current development with swordd might be very interesting for me... :)
If you wanna know why I'm interested, read the bottom of this email... :)
Thanks, ybic
nic... :)ps: just before doing this, I had a bit more of a look, and it seems that there are a couple of WAP versions of the bible out there, but they don't seem all that great, with the best I can find being wap.mobible.org (check out www.mobible.org), and they're open source (yay for OS!), available via Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobible/). I'm interested in looking into this more, but I've really gotta dash right now, but I'm interested in what others think here... :) perhaps mobible frontend (modified, with their permission), with the power of something like swordd as the backend... :) tell me if I'm dreaming... :)
So, WHY?
Well, was on a short hike 3 weeks ago when I got to the top of a hill (well, I think it's called a mountain here in Hong Kong, but it's not really!) and really wanted to grab out my Bible and read a few passages from Genesis and also a few from Revelation, but I only had my phone and camera and water in my bag (from previous experience of hiking in HK, I try not to take anything make of paper or similar things, which can be easily destroyed in the wet - my camera is fairly fine, along with my phone. So, then I thought how cool it would be to be able to access the Bible via my phone (Sony Ericsson T630, which can browse the web with GPRS, with it's WAP browser). Ok, so I know almost nothing about using phones to access the web, having only owned this phone for about 2 months, and been too busy to even figure out how to use it properly (friends normally play with it, figure out a new feature, and then teach me!), but this is something I'd be interested in trying to figure out, if someone else hasn't already done it!
