<p class=MsoNormal>Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>After fighting with Windows on my cell phone for the past
year and a half, I have decided to jump ship and go to an iPhone. It was
getting to the point where I just could not use my phone as a phone without
rebooting my phone daily sometimes more often. The touch screen is not as
responsive as it should be and everything was just slow to come up. I have
watched iPhone users for a few months and noticed how responsive the UI is as
well as the touch screen. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As a result my work on SwordReader will be ending soon. I am
hoping to get to a 1.0 release before I move on but honestly I can’t say
I have much of an incentive to do so. I have only seen a handful of interested
people on the Windows Mobile side of things and that makes it harder to work on
SwordReader when people just are not interested in the product. Also volunteers
come and go and as a result I end up working solo. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is my hope that someone else may take the reigns of the
SwordReader app and make it into something more. My contract on my SCH-i760
ends in November, at which point I may donate my device to any active
SwordReader developers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, we have a single user license for Entrek’s Code
Snitch, a memory and resource leak detector for Windows Mobile. If there are
any takers on the SwordReader development I will gladly transfer the license
over to them, but I do want to be sure this individual is serious about taking
on the SwordReader development.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As far as the website. I will keep it up. I may try to get
it transferred over to crosswire.org’s servers if Troy is ok with that
otherwise I will keep paying for it for the next year and if SwordReader does
not progress at all by then I will take it down. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In Christ,<o:p></o:p></p>
