iObserve – Brachot for your iPhone

By Avi M • August 6, 2008

How cool is this!

Every Bracha comes in Hebrew, English and transliterated. Learn to pronounce by reading the transliterated version, learn to understand by reading in English. And then brush up your Hebrew!
Complete Birkat Hamazon Face it: It’s quite long. But it’s also extremely rewarding to say it.
Some blessings for special occasions. We are constantly extending the list of brachot and prayers. Expect some updates in the upcoming days and weeks.

Hat tip to the fine people over at InterFaithFamily.com for bringing this fine piece of Observance 2.0 technology to my attention.

I don’t think that will work on it but maybe there is something else similar out there, that will work on Windows Mobile. I’m sure there is.

$7 isn’t bad.

There’s also a siddur for $10 at the AppStore (although I’ve not looked at it so, no review…

Much less expensive than books!

Personally, I rather like prayers on the iphone

Getcher Jew on, on the go! I like reading stuff on Chabad.org on my BB. I’ve been known to take down the weekly parsha on the train

If you are interested in another option for the BlackBerry, take a look at Hebrew in Hand, at
http://www.hebrewinhand.com/
We have recently posted our Beta release for the BlackBerry platform. Hebrew in Hand is free. It is a reader, with a growing catalog of Hebrew texts, and is the only reader available now that supports fully pointed Hebrew — vowels and cantillation marks. All of the haftarot and megillot are available, as well as mincha, maariv, and more.

Marsha — I’ll have to give this a go. I can’t seem to get the other software onto my BB anyhow. I’ll let you know how it is!
