Thought the group might be interested in our new iPhone app --
iPocketBible. Details at www.ipocketbible.com. If any of the
developers here are interested in taking it for a spin, let me know
and I'll sign you up for free access for 30 days. If you have
questions about implementation let me know.

iPocketBible is essentially an e-book reader but with a lot of
hyperlinking between the books, powerful searching, and access to a
fairly large library of Bibles and reference titles (a little over 100
titles right now). The program has a fixed title bar at the top and
tool bar at the bottom with a contents div in the middle. Contents are
delivered via ajax from our database. Customers have accounts that
contain records of what books they've purchased, so the program has to
handle giving access to only those titles the user is authorized to
see. Users can also have their own notes, highlights, and bookmarks
(not all of those are implemented yet) and the program controls that
information, modifying the text retrieved from the database to include
the user's custom information.

This is definitely work-in-progress, which is the beauty of a Web app.
Fellow iPhoneWebDev member Jim Coates was responsible for all the
Javascript work on the site; my job was mostly managing the data flow
and presentation. Jim also did a lot of the back-end e-commerce work
to support monthly subscriptions and rights management.

We mostly are lurkers here in the group but we appreciate all the
questions and answers we've seen from others that have often given us
ideas for the product.
