But not right away.

Today, Craig Rairdin, the head honcho at Laridian, posted on their blog that they have had a lot of requests for an Android version of PocketBible. He said that they have plans to offer a version for Android, but explained that since they are working hard on other priorities and are limited by having only two full-time programs (himself and Jeff Wheeler). When you consider all they are doing, that is pretty good output for just two guys.

He said their priorities are the iPhone OS devices followed by Android. They are partnering with other entities to work on Blackberry and WebOS versions. The will not be devloping a Symbian version and are taking a wait-and-see approach to Windows Phone 7. Palm and Windows Mobile don’t have much promise going forward and he seemed to suggest there won’t be much done on those two platforms.

So be patient and be looking for PocketBible for Android. Just not tomorrow!
