I have an Intel based Mac running Leopard (that's where I'm sitting now). I've been anxiously awaiting a chance to download the SDK and I have every intention of picking up an iPhone this summer when my current phone contract runs out. I have tinkered plenty with Sword while putting together a rudimentary client (one of the multiple wxWidgets-based clients: wxsword.sourceforge.net) just to become more familiar with the Sword API. I have been holding out putting full-time work into a client until I can get my hands on an iPhone and work with that.
Depending on what comes down the pike from the SDK, I don't know if Sword or JSword would be the better library to integrate with, but I'll be exploring the different options. I have a number of friends in the on-campus ministry (I'm at the University of Texas at Dallas's Computer Science program) who are iPhone users and lovers. Another interesting option might be for someone to work with making the Sword Web project have an iPhone-happy interface. Until we know more about what Apple will allow for loading files, etc, into the iPhone itself, there's no telling what limitations might be for the iPhone applications to have Bible modules installed locally. However, we already know that Safari 3 on the iPhone is available. The Sword Web already usable from the iPhone (I've done it on my buddy's iPhone) but it could suffer from the various UI improvements, etc, which are also part of the iPhone Developer's Center. Mainly these have to do with increasing the size of the widgets used on the page and other similar updates to the layout, etc, that are basic no-brainers for mobile-platform users. ((As I hit send I've finally broken through the lag and started the SDK download)) --Greg On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 5:28 PM, David Overcash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > And "free" isn't ever FREE unless it's the Grace of Jesus. ;) Somebody > > pays the hosting bills for all those OpenSource websites where their > > "free" software is posted... > > > > > > > > Amen! : ) > > I've been meaning to create a sword frontend for the android platform... > but have yet to have the time for myself.
