[sword-devel] Future MacSword

[Nathan Youngman]

Hi Sébastien,

While the iPhone only has 128 MB of RAM for running programs, I think  
the 4-16 GB of storage space should be fine for having multiple Bibles.
Though for simplicity of the interface, it might even be a good idea  
to scale back to a single text.

As far as other languages, it may make sense to release a localized  
version of the application with the Bible text, rather than having an  
English UI with any given Bible.

I think downloading modules from within the program is certainly  
possible, but it somewhat complicates the program and perhaps  
shouldn't be an initial requirement.
