A Better Way to Navigate the Mobile Bible
Between my use of a smartphone, and my recent play with a neat TabletPC, I have found that a lot of the software that I want to use for reading and studying the Bible just does not always work easily. Granted, there was a post last week about what doesn't work with Bible software, but I want to propose something a bit different that could work for some of us.
The first would be a change in how one can navigate from book to book/verse to verse. After looking at a new program from a Microsoft spinoff company ZenZui, I am looking at their means of navigating web widget content, and thinking that it could work really well for getting from book to book in a Bible. Not too sure how it would work for verses, but can you imagine something that had some sliding navigation and the ability to work equally well with or without a touchscreen in order to navigate and maneuver thru content.
The idea is that of being able to sync bookmarks with either an online profile or with a desktop version of the same (or partnered) Bible software. Stated simply, I just got a verse, and it was really good to go and read it at eBible. However, after placing my bookmark there, instead of having to reproduce the process of seeking and adding the bookmark, it would just be neat to just have the bookmark that I made to be able to be sent to my device and be a bookmark in my Bible reader.
Nothing great in these ideas except improving some ways to interact wtih the content, especially when someone asks you a question and a knowledgable and quick reply would work. What ways could your software (whether on a PDA, TabletPC, or laptop) be improved to make it easier to interact with the content (for reading or learning) and better serve the Word to those around you?
