Summary: Great product with minor irritations
Comment: This is a great PDA Bible for many reasons, several of which are already mentioned in other reviews. It is easy to use, has most of the NIV Study Bible notes and crossreferences, comes with a multi color highlighter (great for using different colors for different purposes...red for commands, blue for promises, etc.), you can change the font for easier reading, and it has a great search engine in case you want all of the references to, say "peace" that occured in the New Testament. The programs that come with it are nice as well, including one that tells you what to read if you want to read the Bible in one year, the OT in one year, the NT in one year, and many more options.
I was somewhat disappointed by a few features that would have made it a hands-down 5 star program, though. The original NIV Study Bible has elaborate introductions for each book, including author, purpose, structure, and much more. The Palm version is lacking all of this, and has no introduction at all.
The original also has many cultural information boxes all throughout the Bible, like a description of the differences between Pharasees and Sauducees; the palm version does not.
The cross references are wonderful - click on a small circle after a verse, and all of the cross references pop up. Simply click on a cross reference, and the program takes you right there. Unfortunately, however, the Palm program has no feature like a "back" button that gets you back to the original text. Finding your original spot is not difficult - it only takes 5 seconds and a little concentration - but would have been much nicer to go instantly back the same way you can instantly get to a cross refernce by clicking on it.
Finally, I would be actively marketing this product and the Palm platform to all of my friends if it included all of the wonderful maps that the original has - maps of the Holyland, Jerusalem, the Middle East, the Temple, and others that are in my paper NIV Study Bible.
Despite these flaws, however, the program is a joy to use and I highly recommend it to all. I am using a Tungsten T3 - the larger screen size make reading easier.

Summary: Great program - bad CD's
Comment: This is a great program for using a Bible on your Palm. The only issue was that I had to return the first CD for scratches and the 2nd was also all scratched up. It worked but .....

Summary: Good Program
Comment: I really like this program. I have purchased three different Bible programs for my PDA and this one is by far the best of the three.

Summary: Excellent Bible Software
Comment: It is my first Bible software for my Palm, and I have to say it is very good. It has several versions (NIV, KJ, AS, etc). However, the NIV version uses a lot of memory which my Palm (Tungsten T) can't handle without adding an additional memory card. I ended up using the America Standard version which is good enough for me.

Summary: Great product but poor install info provided
Comment: Once installed I found the product to be wonderful. Easy to use. It has great search feature as well as it's very easy to move quickly through references. It has a feature to set up daily reading plans including an alarm to remind you. The Morning and Evening devotions are written by Charles Spurgeon, very well known preacher during a revival period long ago.
If you want to install the bibles to your expansion card, as advertised, you won't find the instructions with your product. I had to go to their website support (filaomobile is the company name) to find the instructions which then easily guided me through the installation. You still have to install a few files to your device. I use the Tungsten E2 and you would really need an expansion card to fit everything.
I'd recommend not installing the MDM file (has nothing to do with the Bible software) but that's because when I first tried installing (prior to customer support instructions) I had only a partial install and that file when opened caused my device to have a failure. So if that happens delete it! It could be due to my bad install.
I'm glad I bought the product and am now very happy with it. It had some very old translations in there that I wasn't fond of, and so far have deleted one. But love the NIV and KJV. Also American Standard Version (not to be confused with the New American Standard Version) is on there. Would definitely recommend.
