iphone/Mobile Software

This is paid software but really excellent for the iphone, palm and android. You can get the NIV study bible notes, ESV study bible, and all the versions. There are some free resources here, including the HCSB and many ebooks.

ESV Bible (Free)
Just the bible and the notes for the iphone. Just search for this on the itunes app store to get the version for your country.


LOGOS for iPhone/ipod touch
Logos is great. If you've purchased books for logos you can also download them to your iphone/ipod touch and have almost your whole logos library available on the go. Which means you can have your purchased commentaries and dictionaries with you even when you're not connected to the internet. It is a little slow though.
