BibleReader

screenshot0020-small.jpgThis is another free bible reader (but not open source) that can be used on Symbian 3rd Edition. There are some features that exists in this program that does not exist in my SymbianBible (such as search and split Windows), but there are also features in my program that is not on the BibleReader. You should compare and choose which one is the best for you (or just install both).

This program is from Olive Tree and can be downloaded from http://www.olivetree.com.

SymbianBible

screenshot0019-small.jpgSymbianBible is a port of popular bible reader program for Palm, the PalmBiblePlus. It can read PDB files that can be read by Palm Bible+ (which is quite a lot, and you can create your own PDB files for the languages which you cannot file the Internet).

This program is written by me (Yohanes Nugroho). You can download it from http://www.compactbyte.com.

QReader

screenshot0025-small.jpgQReader is a freeware book reader that supports many common ebook format (Palm Doc, FB2, UMD, and TCR). Although you can not buy a commercial (DRM-ed) books, you can read a lot of freely available ebooks on the Internet. It has many features, such as searching and hyphenation. My only complain was that there is no option to add margin so that the text doesn’t get to close to the screen edges.

This program can be downloaded from http://www.qreader.com.

QuickOffice

If you have the full office application, you can also install QuickOffice, because it is faster for viewing only (how many people actually bother to type large amount of text in their cell phone anyway?).

This application can be downloaded from the Nokia website and you can see more info at http://www.quickoffice.com.

Putty

screenshot0016-small.jpgIf you are an administrator or a web master of a UNIX/Linux system but you are working in Windows environment, then it is likely that you know what putty is. Putty is a SSH (Secure Shell) client. This tool allows you to connect to a server in a secure manner. I have used this tool many times to fix problems on my server.

One thing that was on the Windows version that I wish to have on the Symbian version is the ability to forward port connection. Without the port forwarding this tool is already quite useful, hopefully someone will implement those feature in the feature. The engine that putty uses is the same with the Windows version, and the code to forward port exists and can be compiled for Symbian (portfwd.c), may be if I have enough time, I will see if there is any reason why it can not be implemented in Symbian.

Putty was the work of many people, and can be downloaded from http://s2putty.sf.net.
