No Problems [Posted on 2007-02-02]
This has been a great gift for my husband, who commutes on the Metro. It's made it easier for him to find time to read the Word, and he enjoys using it during church as well! No problems!

Great item [Posted on 2007-02-24]
I got this for my room-mate and she just loves it. She uses it everyday and likes all the different things you can do with it...it will automatically divide the Bible chapters so you can read it in an entire year and the memorizing tool are her 2 favorites.

I LOVE IT! [Posted on 2007-04-12]
Having a study bible on my palm pilot has been very helpful. Whenever I had some down time I always wished I had my bible. Now I do at all times. It is easy to navigate. Takes up a good amount of memory so just be prepared, but if you have enough memory on a card in your palm, it works great. I have used the memorize help feature a lot as well for memorizing verses. Great product!

Excellent When Used Within Its Limitations [Posted on 2007-08-24]
I will try not to repeat the information in the other reviews. Installation on my Treo 680 was simple, no memory issues so far. I only use the NIV translation, so I cannot speak to the others.

I previously used the large paper version of the Zondervan Study Bible (ISBN 0310929555 elsewhere on Amazon). The footnotes and cross-references in the Palm version appear to be the same as in the paper version. As noted elsewhere, the Palm version lacks the introductions and sidebars found in the full version. This is a real drawback for me. For example, in Acts chapter 9, the paper version contains a nice 1/3rd page sidebar with a map and description of Roman Damascus. This helps clarify where Paul stayed, along with other information. The maps of Jerusalem in the Gospels and of Paul's missionary journeys are also missing. A number of other ancillary features of the full paper version are also omitted.

But...having a Bible at hand when desired is a tremendous benefit. For me, this outweighs the drawbacks I've listed. So, as one's only study Bible, this is good. In conjunction with the larger paper version for the ancillary material, the two together provide a very good combination of portability, availability, and comprehensive study information. I wish I'd gotten it years ago.

Great Bible Software [Posted on 2008-03-10]
The PalmOne NIV Bible software is easy to install and makes Bible Study easy , convenient and readily available on your Palm Os cell phone or Pslm pilot ( I use the Palm TX ). NIV is an easily understood translation that maintains scripture accuracy while being easy to read. The study notes and references make Bible study easy and the software is easy to move back and forth between your central text and reference tracks.
