An article at PalmAddict today let us all know that Olive Tree has updated their Bible Reader Beta (v.366build123). From first impressions it looks like a great one. Some simple fixes are there for card searches and for eBook notes. There are several other helpful fixes mentioned. But, according to Olive Tree there is more new under the hood than just fixes. Two new features and some mystery have me eager to get back to my cradle at the office and get this build on my T3.

The first feature is an early Christmas present for those of you who are avid personal note users. Some of the new bells & whistles you'll be hearing will be: added "edit" & "delete" hyperlinks that are used from the main screen. This will surely save us tons of extra taps to get into the note editing. If you want to remove a note from the main screen, simply tap it goodbye! Also for note users, when you are in the edit screen, you will see a new title bar that will help you remember what you're noting in the first place. Awesome.

Second, they've incorporated some extras into the shortcut menu including a highlight shortcut. If you have used highlighting in the past, you'll be thankful for a quicker way to get at that now.

When speaking with Olive Tree about this reader, they mentioned that there are some features that will be utilized as new products come out. That has me waiting to see what they're not telling us is in this release! Exciting stuff!

For now, we'll have to wait for the new releases. Just start making your Christmas list now...
