[B-Greek] Biblical Greek software in your hand

I've used e-Sword on PocketPCs and MyBible (http://www.laridian.com) on Palms. I've had no complaint with either. Craig Rairdin, president of Laridian, was the creator of QuickVerse back when it was sold by Parsons Technology, so he is no newcomer to bible software.

If you do end up with either, do expect to be asked to search for a bible verse or give an alternate reading (especially if your friends know you have more than one translation installed) in almost every scripture related discussion.

Thank you, Mr. George Somsel, for your reply and the links.  I did a search for palm based software, and I saw Olive Tree, and a GMP software, both of which work with Palm hand helds.  I haven't looked at the Laridian software, thank you for that link.  I just wondered what
folks here have used.   I also saw a Southpaw software on the search.

I use Macs and Palm, not a pc.  Like you noted, the e sword comes for a pocket pc, but it seems, not for palms.

Thank you for the links and the thought about the free software(!).  I see on his site where he says that about 1% of the people who download the e sword return to say thanks by a monetary donation.
