iBible is a web app that has the entire bible (both testaments) translated into several languages including French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Polish. It’s very simple to use and it has no requirement to set anything up.

The home screen of iBible is a list of languages which in turn will direct you to a list of chapters and sections which the reader can select to skip to them right away. All the sentences are numbered for quick and easy referencing and all the text is properly typed and laid out – not just bad quality PDF copies which I’ve seen in the past.

Because the majority of the app is text, it’s suitable to be loaded on almost and device with access to the internet such as an iPhone, a PSP or a basic GPRS mobile phone.

What that means is that if you’re cruising along a highway and there’s a traffic jam ahead, you’ll get a warning from someone stuck in the jam who decided to be nice and inform the world about it.

It’s not only for traffic jams, police traps, accidents, speed cameras, broken traffic lights and any number of ‘Custom’ events can be flagged up. What’s more, when these obstructions are flagged up by other users and if they’re in the way of your route, Waze will automatically alter your course so you can avoid them.

Despite all these features, it takes a community to make Waze what it should be; and there is a shortage of alerts with community activity being sporadic. However, the reason for the afore mentioned lack of community is that the program is still in beta (even alpha for some devices), plus the fact that it takes time for an active community to build up. In time, this will make an extremely useful app. Definitely worth having, especially for the commuter.

From the page:

“Would you like to sleep better? Or maybe just need help relaxing? Are you in a hotel and miss the familiar sound of your fan or air conditioner? Flying on a plane and just want to nap? White Noise provides ambient sounds of the environment to help you relax or sleep. Includes high quality looping noises such as waves crashing on a beach, crickets chirping at night, and the soothing sound of rain fall.”

The app works pretty simple, just choose the noise you want to hear, adjust the volume, set timer, lay back and relax. You can choose between beach waves, crickets, rain forest, wind chimes, fan, TV static, air conditioner, grandfathers clock sounds.
