I prefer the bigger- sized pocketpc phones with a display size of 3" or more. Both my old HTC Universal and my new Touch Pro 2 do an excellent job. But I have to admit that my eyes are very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013061704828990246.post-81253825880976313132008-10-14T16:08:00.000-05:002008-10-14T16:08:00.000-05:00MichaelIf you see me in church some Sunday I can s...Michael<BR/><BR/>If you see me in church some Sunday I can show you pocket E-Sword on my Pocket PC. It functions slightly different they the desktop version, mostly because of the screen space. It is however, much like its big brother. <BR/><BR/>I am usually taking notes with it when I am in 2nd service (when not working with the kids). <BR/>What is funny is when I am typing in notes using the built in keyboard and using my thumbs I have had funny looks from people thinking I am playing a video game (I guess). If I switch to handwriting recognition, it takes a few seconds to recognize and I will get behind Pastor Bob. Depending how long the verses are you can get about 5 to 8 on a screen.Bob Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589816110619452196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013061704828990246.post-3480149562625708372008-10-13T12:12:00.000-05:002008-10-13T12:12:00.000-05:00Funny... the director of the Bible school from my ...Funny... the director of the Bible school from my church is named <A HREF="http://www.gsmtulsa.com/vision_GeofJackson.html" REL="nofollow"><I>Geof</I> Jackson</A>! (Don't let the picture frighten you... he doesn't look like a perch on the lake bank in real life.)<BR/><BR/>Probably if I had a pocket PC device I would give <A HREF="http://www.e-sword.net/pocketpc/" REL="nofollow">Pocket e-Sword</A> a try first, since I'm familiar with the desktop version, and plus it's you, know, like, <I>free</I> and all. I'm a big proponent of free. I can almost always afford that. :) But for the kind of use I'd want, I'd want something the size of a regular book... maybe not as big as the leatherbound someone might carry to church, but bigger than a trade paperback. The problem with using a phone or a pocket PC or whatever is that the screen is kind of tiny... you can get 3-4 verses on there at a time and that's it. Plus, I'd feel like the biggest dork in the universe staring at my telephone during the message. :)<BR/><BR/>People with weak eyesight (particularly older people assuming the interface wasn't daunting to them) would be able to use something like what I'm imagining, too, if you could ramp up the font size.TulsaMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945834114006833482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013061704828990246.post-16871673988942982562008-10-13T11:58:00.000-05:002008-10-13T11:58:00.000-05:00I use Laridian on a PocketPC a lot and occassional...I use Laridian on a PocketPC a lot and occassionally use Remote Desktop Connection on the PocketPC to access Logos on my home computer. What I'd really like is a UMPC that was inexpensive and small enough to run Logos, but they are still too bulky and way to expensive.<BR/><BR/>A PocketPC with a 4" VGA screen (iPaq 210) is a pretty confortable format. I miss my old hx4700, which had a metal body and was a touch thinner, but the flash memory in it died.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
