WOWSERS!!!!!

Yes, you are right! Many books show up now. I can see my messianic books and many others. Good job Logos.

OK. All this WoW talk has finally tipped the scales for the iPhone/iPod putchase. 

I need a simple recommendation.
Which should I buy?
How much memory do I need?
Are there any providers other than AT&T? (I hate at&t)

Sorry if this is off-topic.

Or you can wait until ATT's exclusive contract runs out with Apple (end of 2010 I think???) and hopefully the iPhone will be available on verizon and other 3G hardware compatible network providers.

Well, I have my iPhone with T-Mobile but it is here in Europe. Sorry [:P]

Speaking about the size of memory, I would get as big as possible. If Logos really plans to go off line with the resources, what I hope for, we will need quite bog room for that. I use iPhone for music, video, iTunesU (lectures) etc. All of it demands a lot of GBs [:(]

If the Logos app is your only reason for getting it I would suggest you not waste your money. It really is not worth the $200-$400 you'll be spending on the phone/iPod. There is no highlighting or notes and you have to be connected to the net and there are still a lot of books not on the app (like, for instance, all the ones I happen to be currently reading).

Unless you have some other really good reasons to spend over 200 on the phone or iPod, wait.

My wife seems to think I spend too much time tethered to the computer. (Don't know where she gets that idea...)

Other uses I think I may have are: listening to mp3 sermons, audio Bible, organizer. I just hate sitting in waiting rooms without decent reading material.

 

Well, since value is relative, I can't say that spending 200+ on an item for those functions is too much. But I can say that one can get such functions with a cheaper non-iPhone item. About 4 years ago I bought something called an i-River for about $50 that is like a cheap iPod knock off. It does all those things (except organizer, but I'm not that impressed with the iPod/Phone's organizing abilities). 4 years later and it still works perfectly. On the other hand, I bought an iPod nano maybe a year and a half ago and it gives me all sorts of problems (those in the cult of mac may have a hard time believing this).

I would suggest you browse the iTunes App store to see exactly how much functionality you might get out of it.

The thing with the iphone/ipod touch is, using the Logos4 app, is just a very small part of what can be done with the device itself. Like what was said above, I listen to sermon podcast, music, sports scores, email on 4 different accounts, texting, read books magazines etc, calendar, alarms, gps and oh yeah I make phone calls on the iPhone.

To me as a Logos 4 Scholars library owner, the addition of the app. Adds that much more value to a device that I already depend upon for a host of other uses like converting measurements when cooking etc.

Yes you can browse via wifi using safari whenever the OS detects a wifi signal

Oh yeah you can buy an 8GB Iphone in the US for 99 bucks!

Sometime in the 1-2 quarter of 2010. Hopfully in the form of a 10x7 tablet running the iPhone 3.x OS

Bite your tongue Anthony! I want nothing less than a full OSX on my new tablet. 

In the states currently, ATT is the only provider.  however, the chairman of Verizon has gone on record publically as stating that Verizon will start carrying the Iphone.    Unless you live and operate in a big city, as i do in Atlanta, I would consider waiting on the iphone until Verizon has it.  The iphone does not do well in western states that I have traveled in and through.  In terms of memory, the program itself on the iphone is small, as the books are online books, except perhaps for the 15 bookshelf books in the package.  I have not noticed an increase in memory use.  I have an iphone with 30 gb.

So Kevin, how would I connect the MIFI card to the touch?  I cant see how I could hook it up and then also how expensive is the card?  thanks Kelly Todd

Thanks for posting this...I had avoided opening my iphone app for a while because none of the books that were on there at the time were appealing to me.  I found access to the FOTL and Anchor Commentaries as well as many others...Definitely makes this free app worth it.

Well, I have roughly 80-100 air cards issued to users right now, and I don't believe that any of them have approached the 5gig limit. BUT, they aren't using Logos 4. [:D]

thanks Terry, that is my issue... Logos 4, a few DOC files, some web pages, 400 email a day, and some photos that go to my site, or that I view on others sites... it all adds up!

Unless those are huge pictures, then I don't think it would come close to 5 GB.

I have downloaded Logos updates including a recent 1.8 GB and that along with an entire months worth of heavy heavy browsing did not add up to 3 GB of use that month.  Unless you are downloading a lot of content regularly, you don't have to worry that much.

I just checked and currently they top out at 32GB, which is plenty for me, but as the price of ssd memory continues to drop. I wouldn't be suprised to see a 64GB version in the $399 slot. Sometime in the 1-2 quarter of 2010. Hopfully in the form of a 10x7 tablet running the iPhone 3.x OS

$399 is more than I was thinking about spending. I could probably get everything I need on a 16GB with room to spare. I don't need the constant connectivity since I'm almost always in a wifi hotspot so the iTouch would serve my purposes.

Is there any talk of a 10x7 tablet actually being brought to market or are you just wishfully dreaming out loud?

You have both Verizon and AT&T wireless accounts?

Yes, my iPhone is on AT&T, and the MiFI is on Verizon. But it goes with the territory, I am in IT, and telecommunications is under my purview. But I am not as bad as some, I have execs who carry two wireless cards and two cell phone (each from different carriers) to make sure they have connectivity when they want it and can always be reached.
