Three Favorite Bible Resources for Palm Treo

My Palm Treo 680 is indispensable for my work and personal life. It is my phone, calendar, address book, to do list, and notebook. It has other bells and whistles as well, all of which I also use, but where the Bible is concerned, my favorite resources are:

Olive Tree Bible Software (http://www.olivetree.com/). Using Olive Tree's software, I currently have the following -- Bible translations on my Treo: Amplified, ASV, ESV, HCSB, KJV, Litv, NASB, Net Bible, NIV, NKJV, NLT, NRSV, and WEB. My KJV and NASB translations are also keyed to Strong's Concordance and come with hyperlinked definitions. Some of the translations are free and you can purchase as many or as few additional translations as you like. When listening to a sermon, I like to read multiple translations of the passage quoted by the preacher, or look up the definition of a word in the passage quoted. In Sunday school, I like to use the "find" feature to search for passages containing certain words or phrases. I also have Bible maps, Matthew Henry's concise commentary, and Nave's Topical Bible.

My second favorite Bible resource for my Treo are my two audio New Testaments from Audible.com. Although the NKJV is my preferred translation for general Bible study, my favorite audio Bible is "Inspired By...The Bible Experience: New Testament" by Inspired By Media, which is a reading of the TNIV by various actors and recording artists. I also have Johnny Cash Reading the Complete New Testament (NKJV). Although I am a Johnny Cash fan, I find The Bible Experience holds my attention better because it uses multiple voices throughout the recording.

Lately I find myself using the Treo's Memo program for taking notes during my daily Bible reading. I will create files for individual topics (e.g., apocalyptic references, giving, prayers, etc.) and then list references and notes within each file or memo as I stumble across them in my reading. Of course, this is easy on the Treo because of its full qwerty thumb board.
