cheating to get your books viewed on iphone

Ok, this may be cheating and slow, but it works. I got the free version of Mocha Lite at the iphone store and then installed a free Windows VNC from Jaadu website following the instructions (it was Ultravnc) and ran both (remember it's free) and I got control of my laptop and ran logos 4 and saw all of my books.

This is jerryrigging, and you need to have a computer on that has logos 4, but, hey, it works.

It might be worthwhile pursuing the paid programs if it speeds things up. I am going  to use the free version until i get frustrated or one of you recommends them.

    slow is the word, you are unlikely to notice any speed enhancements in full paid versions, assuming you are using optimised settings

    I tried it with v3 for about a month before getting frustrated.. for me the iphone app experience is far superior.

    Never Deprive Anyone of Hope.. It Might Be ALL They Have

    Logos 4 is faster, and this "solution" is not better than the iphone app (when they ever get most of the books on there), but if you want to have access to more of your books, it is a possible way.

    Forgot to say thank you, Dominic, last night. I am glad someone tried it besides me. I am just glad I get access to more books and am able to set up and see a desktop that has all the resources I want for a passage. Thanks again.

    If you have a business or professional edition of Windows, using Remote Desktop is much quicker than VNC, and I've used it a few times when I've been stuck. It's pretty good over wi-fi and just about acceptable over 3G. There are free RDP clients for the iPhone - I recommend RDP Lite.

    I'm experimenting with Jaadu RDP tonight and am very excited about it!  I am very pleased with the results with both the usability and response time.  This is what I get on the iPhone, with the remote desktop set to 475 x 710 pixels (in order that the application does not scroll left and right, nor up or down on an "oversized" desktop when I use it), L4 maximized, and windows as well as Jaadu toolbars hidden.  I can even ask L4 to read the text aloud and it streams the voice to my phone, though a bit choppy at times.   [:)]  Now I am very pleased with my L4 and iPhone.  [:D]

    I absolutely love this.  All of my Logos books, wherever I want, as long as I'm connected to Wifi.  Very, very nice.  :D
