iPod Bible to Hit Stores in February
By Marc • Nov 3rd, 2005 • Category: MarcGRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ — Twenty-first-century
technology meets a 2,000-year-old book: the Bible meets the iPod.
Zondervan, the world’s largest Bible publisher, has partnered with Talking
Panda, a leader in software development for the iPod, to release the TNIV
Audio Bible for iPod in February 2006. This marks the first audio Bible
available in Apple retail stores.
The TNIV Audio Bible for iPod will feature the complete TNIV Bible, both
audio and text formats, as well as study notes from the bestselling Student
Bible, a subject guide and 10 topical two-week reading plans.
“To be able to carry and access the entire text of the Bible in a device
that fits in the palm of your hand will be a great convenience to allow time-
starved people to read or listen to the Bible whenever it suits them,” said
Mark Hunt, vice president and publisher of new media for Zondervan. “This
product allows users to read the text of the Bible on their iPod screen while
listening to it on their earphones, which we think will be well-received by
iPod enthusiasts.”
HM….I’m not sure I know what the TNIV is. Is it some new NIV version? BAH… Now if it was the RSV-CE, or a properly accented Douay-Rheims, that would be awesome!
