[sword-devel] iPhone frontend alpha screenshots

[Daniel Owens]

Ditto here. Even in the Psalms the chapter division is questionable in 
at least one place, maybe two. Psalms 9 and 10 are an alphabetical 
acrostic, so they are meant to be read together. I was listening to a 
sermon or something the other day and a chapter division kept me 
flipping between chapters in SwordReader. It was not very practical.

The screenshots look great, though. It looks great for a first stab!
