Windows Phone Thoughts: Laridian Releases PocketBible 4 - Full Review

Today Laridian released PocketBible 4 for both Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) and Professional (Pocket PC) devices.



There are a number of new features, some specific to the Standard or Professional platform. There is a single installer which will determine which type of device you own. Some of the new features include:

• Maximize Windows - Open multiple windows/books. Maximize any window for full screen reading.
• Flick Gestures while Maximized - Swipe across the screen to switch to another open book (commentaries will stay synchronized with the Bible text). Swipe up or down in a book to go to the previous or next page.
  
• Auto-Scroll - Set a book to auto-scroll for easier reading. Increase or decrease the speed of scrolling to match your reading speed. Great for public or devotional reading.
  
• View in All - View a verse in all Bibles. View a reference in all commentaries. View a word in all dictionaries. Parallel study has never been easier!
• Customizable Toolbars - Sixty different functions available to be included on your toolbar. Put the features you use most, literally, at your fingertip. Choose "Large icons" never use the stylus again!
  

There is a full review of PocketBible 4 for the Professional/Pocket PC platform at eHansberry.com. The upgrade price is $7 and the full price is $10 if you aren't a current owner. All of your books should work just fine, but if you should run into an issue, just go to your Laridian download library and redownload the version designed for PocketBible 4.
