However, Joe Walker, the original lead dev for JSword, has written DWR, which is tailor made for integrating JSword into a web-app. I've been thinking, that at minimum, a demo of JSword in a web context would be a good thing. Targeting a small device would be cool. Perhaps Joe would seed it with his "studious" code (the demo at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; "><a href="http://eireneh.co">http://eireneh.co</a>m/studious is currently broken).</span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><b><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></b></span></font></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><blockquote type="cite"> Until we know<br>more about what Apple will allow for loading files, etc, into the<br>iPhone itself, there's no telling what limitations might be for the<br>iPhone applications to have Bible modules installed locally.
