Subsequent to penning the second two paragraphs of this post, I became the owner, thanks to my indulgent wife, of an iPhone. But don’t worry, I haven’t begun to pray the new Breviary! I wanted to mention that while looking through Apple’s App store, I noticed that iBreviary wasn’t the first in the iPhone app game; Universalis was there before and it looks like they have a much nicer new Breviary on offer. The main difference is price; Universalis, at $32.99, probably isn’t going to be an impulse buy. One advantage of Universalis is that one download gives you the whole Breviary; you wouldn’t need to reconnect to the internet to download new content each day. Now for most people, especially for iPhone or iPod touch users, connecting to the internet at least once a day is hardly a rare occurrence. Anyway, if you’re interested, you can visit the App store in iTunes and read the customers’ reviews. From a few reviews that I read, iBreviary isn’t as pretty as Universalis; but iBreviary has the advantage of multiple languages (including Latin).

I saw this article linked on Drudge. Has anyone tried it? It looks pretty cool – not that I’d be caught dead praying the new Breviary – though I could be tempted, if it were in Latin, which is one of the languages this app has.

Now who’s gonna do a version for us for the old Breviary? Those breviary.net people seems pretty web savvy – at least, I think that they’ve had a web presence for a long time. I mean, it’s something of a surprise that sedevacantists who also insist on praying the old old Breviary even touch the internet. So I imagine that they think there’s some value to it. Maybe we’ll see a sedevacantist organized effort for an old old Breviary app for the iPod before we see a new old Breviary app.
