I read a post called iPhone Survival Guide, about how your iPhone (or iPod touch) could be useful in an emergency. It’s worth checking out.
That got me to thinking about how an iPhone (or iPod touch) could be used for nature activities in general. The iPhone has a clear advantage over the iPod touch in a couple areas: Continue reading
At the 2009 GYC convention, I was introduced to a new application for the iPhone and iPod touch that features Ellen White’s writings, called PocketBible. Unlike the Conflict of the Ages app I reviewed some time ago, this one contains all of the books (or at least the major ones) written by Ellen White. I counted 119 books in all. This is obviously a major advance over the five books included with Conflict of the Ages.
The base app, PocketBible, is developed by a company called Laridian. This app is FREE. However, PocketBible is mainly just a shell for library modules that you download. Some of these are free or included, but others — such as the Ellen White writings — cost money. (Most of their libraries are Bible translations and such.)
A company called SonRise Studios has released an iPhone app for the “Conflict of the Ages” series written by Ellen G. White, including the full books Patriarchs and Prophets, Prophets and Kings, The Desire of Ages, Acts of the Apostles, and The Great Controversy.
Recently I upgraded a number of things. If you’re into technical stuff, you may find this interesting. Otherwise, you are welcome to skip.
I just purchased the Earphones With Remote and Mic ($29) from Apple. This little add-on gives the iPod Touch voice recording and audio input. What can you do with it?
With the free Fring app, you can make voice calls using Skype or SIP services. I believe Fring also supports voice chat on MSN, but I haven’t tried it yet. I made a test call to my cell phone, and can assure you that it does work. Depending on the service and who you call, the calls may be free, or may incur a small fee (as little as 1.5¢ per minute or so, but YMMV). Obviously if you don’t sign up with anything that requires a credit card, you should be safe.
