My membership to the yahoo group is still pending. How is the testing going? I know you guys agreed to secracy so I'm more asking if we're close to a release?

As for the catholic Bible...point me to a good public domain source and I will see if we can have it released.

For anyone who may come across this post, we are ready to provide you with a builder if interested in generating Bibles for Noah by yourself.

It's not quite trivial, though...certainly requires decent HTML knowledge and advanced computer skill level.

We do have a simple guide to get you started, but you'd still have to install Java and BlackBerry JDE in order to be able to compile e-books.

I'm interested, how is it possible to get a hold on this builder? In latin america we're very interested in generating the Reina Valera 1960 public domain version, as only the Reina Valera Antigua is currently built for the Noah Viewer

[cheungsta]

you still need testers for the Bible app? i've been using Olive Tree BibleReader, but it isn't all that user friendly, so I've been looking for an alternative.

First, we've already released the Bible builder to a selected subset of devoted users and they reported successful conversion.

Admittedly, it's not an easy task, but it's apparently doable...results of their efforts should soon become available.

Second and unrelated, we just got ready with Noah 4.1 release candidate and are looking for a few new "fresh" beta testers (other than the ones we already have).

If interested, reply here. If we like your profile and posting history we'll get in touch.

Noah 4.1 is the first free Noah upgrade in the history of the application...coming to show commercial upgrades are not just wasted money after all.

It is not a must-have upgrade, but it falls between two major milestones on our product roadmap and it was justified to make it publicly available for free.

That function will be available in Noah 4.1 update.

[Soapm]

I will test if you like.

[JADesign]

I would be interested in testing this.

[awerry]

I am willing to test too, if you like.

[Coach P]

I would be willing to test if you want. I tried to get in on the yahoo website but never heard back for you.

Please let me know.

Thanks

[BBChristopher]

Also interested in testing... let me know.

[kolev]

BBChristopher, check your email.

coach P and awery, each of you has only two posts on BBForums...I am not sure if I have mentioned it in this particular thread (I apologize if I have not) but we require a minimum of 10 posts before we evaluate an applicant for the beta group...and yes, we bother actually reading some of their posts.

It's a combination of security measure and productivity enhancement. People without tendency to post have proven to be bad at providing feedback also and the opposite, people who have tendency to post often also seem to like to provide feedback.

Hope you understand.

[JSanders]

Bobby, I have sent you three PMs yesterday and today, please let me know you have read them.

Thank you.

[visortgw]

Bobby--

I sent you a PM offering to assist (along with contact info), but I have not heard back...

[kolev]

I don't know how PMs work here, but I am not getting any emails.

I know I can check them explicitly, but I admit I rarely do that.

I will this afternoon, though.

[awerry]

I do understand. I currently use Noah 4.0 and could provide some feedback for you. I've beta tested dozens of programs for other companies/developers.

I look forward to seeing what you have done when you release it.

[Coach P]

Kolev...

I too understand that you are looking for people more active on here and that do post. Well I guess Ill post more instead of just sitting back and reading. Please keep me updated as it goes as I am very interested in this product.

Thanks again.

[kolev]

CoachP, Noah Bible Viewer for BlackBerry is long available for public download...we periodically keep looking for new faces for beta-testing new features as we need to keep the fresh look perespective.

I mean you know how it is in testing software - you ask a few times for something and you're told it's on the todo list or you ask how to do something and you're told and it may not be that intuitive, but once you get used to it it's OK....so we periodically let new people in our beta group just to keep hearing the "invisible obvious"

But if you are interested in Noah, just go to its page on our site at BlackBerry dictionaries, phrase books and other language and reference solutions by BEIKS or directly to Welcome to BEIKS mobile!.

[artie]

Bobby, I've waiting for something like this for a long time, sounds wonderful. I have Wordsearch 8 on my laptop, but they don't offer anything for my berry. It would be great to be able to help. Hope to hear from you.
artie.

[awerry]

Any idea on a release date for this new version?
