Olive Tree Bible Software Announces BibleReader™ Developed Exclusively for BlackBerry

LAKE OSWEGO, OR—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 23, 2005—Olive Tree Bible Software announced the introduction of their BibleReader™ software developed exclusively for BlackBerry.  This program enables the user to utilize the extensive versions of the Bible also offered by Olive Tree.

Developed initially for the Palm and Pocket PC, this new technology has unique features and performance enhancements designed specifically for the BlackBerry. Until now, users had only a very limited selection of software offerings of this type available.

“Many users are migrating from Pocket PCs to BlackBerrys and other Smartphone devices,” says Stephen Johnson, Senior Software Engineer, “We wanted to meet the growing demand for the various translations that are most often requested.”

In addition to the KJV and the NIV—the most widely read translation in the world with over 215 million copies worldwide—they offer 15 other popular Bible translations.

“BlackBerry is a shining example of something done right—a bright star in the universe of mobile computing,” says Drew Haninger, President of Olive Tree, “We are delighted to make so many versions of the Bible available to our users.”
