AcroDesign Technologies releases coBIBLE and the AudioBay Podcast Player for BlackBerry
Colchester, VT March 26th, 2007 -- AcroDesign Technologies, a leading developer of mobile consumer software, today announced that they have joined the BlackBerry® ISV Alliance Program along with the release of two titles for BlackBerry® smartphones: coBIBLE and AudioBay Podcast Player. These are the first AcroDesign Technologies titles available for BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM)
"We are pleased to add support for the BlackBerry platform to our top-selling Bible and podcast products", said Scott Thibault, president and founder of AcroDesign Technologies. "With the release of the BlackBerry® Pearl smartphone, RIM has created an attractive handset for customers, and a new opportunity for ISVs with consumer-oriented applications." The BlackBerry Pearl is an award-winning smartphone and the first BlackBerry handset to include a digital camera, multimedia capabilities and an expandable memory slot.
Now available for BlackBerry smartphones, the coBIBLE software was designed specifically for mobile phones and features easy-to-use navigation, fast search and a topical index. Unlimited bookmarking allows users to quickly return to interesting verses or stay on track for daily reading.
The AudioBay software enables users to easily locate podcasts of interest and then download and listen to episodes directly from the handset. The software also has the ability to schedule automatic downloads, so that new episodes from your favorite podcasts are downloaded overnight and are ready to play when you get up.
coBIBLE is available today for $29.99 with the NIV translation, or $9.95 with the KJV translation. The AudioBay Podcast player is also available today for $19.95. Both titles can be purchased from the AcroDesign Technologies website: http://www.acrodesigntech.com/blackberry.html.
The coBIBLE and the AudioBay Podcast player for BlackBerry will be on display this week at the upcoming CTIA Wireless 2007 conference at the BlackBerry booth #2125.
