Laridian To Release Sync Conduit For PocketBible 3

Sometime today, Laridian will be releasing the synchronization tool that will allow you to synchronize your PocketBible 3 database between your PC and Pocket PC. This includes your notes, highlights, bookmarks and daily reading progress. One caveat about the highlights though. It only supports verse highlight synchronization, so to make it work you'll have to disable Word Highlights in the Pocket PC client. This doesn't get rid of your existing highlights though. It seems to make a duplicate copy and convert the copy to verse highlights for syncing. I've been using it now for a week or so and it has finally made the desktop version really worth it for me. I can do my research at my desk with a big screen and full size keyboard for my notes, and use my Pocket PC for reading, highlighting and tweaking the notes after further study.
You'll need to download both the Pocket PC client and PC client, as well as the Pocket PC sync provider, which should be in your account if you have already purchased the PC and PPC clients. Judging by Laridian's blog posts, it appears that the providers for the iPhone, MyBible and Smartphone version will come next, in that order.
