Olive Tree’s first official Android tablet!
With today’s release of the Motorola Xoom by Verizon, one of Olive Tree’s Android developers, Scott Currie, braved the foot of snow that fell last night here in Spokane to be one of the first to get his hands on one. Upon entering the Olive Tree office, the new Xoom found itself immediately surrounded by not only the Android development team but also our iOS and other department teams excited by the new addition to our expanding tablet family.
Within minutes of arriving Scott installed BibleReader for Android. This tablet is sleek! Actually having a “live” Android tablet in the office is only fueling our developer’s drive to bring Android BibleReader’s potential to fruition.
One of Olive Tree’s employees has installed BibleReader on his personal Notion Ink Adam, also an Android Tablet. The picture is a little out of focus, but you can still see the text.

I actually been using on the pandigital Novel tablet for some time. So this is the second one it’s been on. Still great to see though…

Yeah, we’ve actually seen it on several Android tablets, but this is the first Android tablet that Olive Tree has purchased.

Awesome! Good to see the team on top of it. Am a mostly happy Android user, though the slick graphics are missing…

I’ve been using it on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. It’s great…..much better experience than on my Droid X.

I really hope that you guys will be rolling out some updates to the Bible Reader for Android soon! I have an Android tablet (Viewsonic G-tablet) which I have been using as my primary Bible at church, but the current Bible Reader app is really lacking, to be honest. I am looking forward to when you are able to get the Android version up to speed with the iOS version.

We are working very hard to update Android, but don’t have an ETA yet.

Also, is there any hope of a tablet-specific version of Bible Reader? Say, with multiple split-screens? I would probably spend all my money on BR books if that happened.

Certainly split screen, but multiple split-screens at this point aren’t planned.

Will the new version be comparable to the Apple Bible Reader 5 release? I installed Bible Reader 5 on my wife’s ipad and my android Bible Reader 4 version seems basic compared to the ipad version. I am using it with the Samsung Galaxty Tab.

Yes, but the functionality will happen incrementally as the updates are made available. There will be several iterations before it has the full BibleReader5 capabilities.
