I just got the new phone over the weekend and I am absolutely freaking out over having the internet (*gasp*) on my phone. (I can be on facebook while carefully concealing my phone under my work desk!!)
With the hundreds and hundreds of applications, I can play solitaire and scan barcodes to find cheaper versions of what I am buying...
...and I can be on facebook!
But there is one tiny thing that bugs me about the G1:
The lack of Jesus-y applications I can play with!!
Searching the market for applications, I found 0 hits with key words like:
"catholic"
"pope"
"vatican"
"USCCB" (ok, that one isn't that shocking...)
And I only found 9 hits with the key word: "Jesus" - 5 out of the 9 were Mormon Jesus things. The only Bibles I could find were from the Latter Day Saints and the King James Version.
It is very sad to see such a nifty phone so Jesus-unfriendly. I did find one cool application called "Pray," but the disclaimer clearly states as you install the app "these prayers are not sent anywhere." Excuse me? Then, exactly, what is the point now? *sigh* It could at least read, "these prayers are not sent to any electronic or mobile device, but are instead hurled upward into the heavenly realm to God or your saint of choice - for intercession purposes only."
Yes, that would be much better.
At least I can download pictures of Jesus from the internet to set as my background...
...and upload them to facebook, too!
Try to go to this website on your G1: http://www.iphonebible.org/. I'm not sure it will work, but it does work on non-iPhone web browsers. It is by America's Archbishop association. Have fun.
