Your Faith – On Your Phone
Ian Vink and Runa Ali, two members of the Baha’i Faith, created this wonderfully useful resource. The free Interfaith Explorer for Windows application contains over 5,000 books in 20 languages from nine major religions. You can search the writings of several religions or download it to your computer to use anytime. You can also easily add your own content. Download it at BahaiResearch.com.
Here’s a unique feature of Interfaith Explorer: Create a USB stick version. It will copy your current setup to a USB stick which can then run on any PC simply by plugging it in.
Here are three images that show what Interfaith Explorer looks like on an iPhone. Hint to the developers: We hope to see Blackberry, Google Android and Windows Mobile versions eventually also. A link on the website connects you directly to the App Store where you can download it for free. The popular Baha’i Views Blog gives a short review of the app.
In the Bahá’í Faith the Qiblih is the location that Bahá’ís should face when saying their daily obligatory prayers. It is fixed at the Shrine of Bahá’u'lláh, near `Akká, in present day Israel. Qiblih is another handy iPhone app. Click on the image to go to their website.
This is what my blog looks like if you view it on an iPhone. It looks very similar on Android or Blackberry Storm phones.
I’m in the comment area now and all I see is “Leave a Reply” and a blank box followed by a button. Where would I find the mail form you’re referring to? This form I am typing into has only the one unlabeled box.
Thank you for spotting my error. I corrected it this morning. I’ll take a look at the comment form. I don’t use a plugin for comments. Whatever is there is a built-in part of Wordpress 2.8.5. I will see what I can do about it.
Thanks for the review. A minor correction: the Qiblih iPhone app is not free; it’s $2.99.
Unrelated: your comment form asks for “Mail” twice. I think the first one should be “Name (required).”
