This Lamp Talks Hebew Support with Olive Tree

In the rise of mobile devices as capable Bible reading and studying devices, the ability to support multiple languages and character sets nearly rivals the need to support multiple Bible versions.

The website owner over at This Lamp has been playing with a beta version of Olive Tree's Bible Reader on the iPhone, and in a recent post/screenshot shows a Hebrew search as something that's coming.

This is pretty cool, and reminds me of when Palm Bible+ got a similar feature. Makes it fun to study the text in terms of seeing the direct Hebrew (if you speak it), or to learn it (side by side with the English).
