[B-Greek] PalmPilots, GRAMCORD lite, Greek New Testament, and school

The Zire 71 (and I assume the 72) has a 144 mhz processor with 16 mb of RAM
standard; the Tungsten E has a 126 mhz processor but with 32 mb of RAM
standard.  

With less memory, I wonder if the Zire will really be any quicker.  Oh, and
the Pocket PC units that I've messed with, even though they have faster
clock speeds and more memory, actually run programs slower than the Palms.

(I'm holding out for the 400 mhz T3 with 64 mb of RAM standard.)

Jonathan,
I thought I would throw my two cents in.  There is a free open source bible
reader that supports Greek and Hebrew. http://palmbibleplus.sourceforge.net/
it is the PalmBible+.  This runs on the Palm OS only, I think.  There are
also modules that have parsing information for the Greek.  I have never used
Gramcord so I can't compare but I mention this as an option.

Thanks,
Dana J. Hall

Hello,
    Every since I got rid of my laptop (sold it to buy a truck) I've been
thinking about getting a PalmPilot.  The laptop was rather bulky and at
times annoying to carry around the large campus at BJU.  So, I'm planning on
Lord willing buying a PalmPilot.  I've been to GRAMCORD's website and from
what I've seen, I plan on buying GRAMCORD Lite, the NASB (KJV comes with
it), and the Hebrew OT as well.  I usually carried my Bible and GNT with me
to every class (even non-Bible classes) so when we were done with the class,
I could spend the time improving my Greek skills, or at least trying :)  So,
I'm thinkin the PalmPilot will be better just for the times that I'm reading
my English Bible and I think, "I wonder what it reads in the GNT?" so I can
easily get to it w/ GRAMCORD Lite without having to carry around my GNT as
well.
 
So, is this a good idea? and what all Greek tools can I get for the
PalmPilot?  I'm planning on buying the PalmOne Zire 72 in about two weeks
unless ya'll have a better recommendation for a Palm or PocketPC that would
be better for Greek reasons and other scholastic reasons.  Thankyou for your
time!
 
in Christ,
Jonathan Ferguson
