[B-Greek] Pocket PC Programs

Hi all,

I have Gramcord lite with Olive Tree software on
Pocket PC.  The text is based on NA27 and it comes
with UBS dictionary.  You can click on the Greek work
and it will show you the parsing and the definition
from the dictionary.  In my opinion, it is better than
an interlinear that you do not have those English
words getting into your sight so that you could more
focus on the Greek text, but as the same time you
could get help from the dictionary very easily.

Definitely a worth item for either Pocket PC owner,
and I assume this works great on Palm also, though I
have not tested it out myself.

The cost is comparable with a printed edition of NA27,
but of course you will not have the textual notes from
the software.

Just my 2 cents.  :D

In Christ,
