The long anticipated and twice postponed release was actually initiated and strongly monitored by the BlackBerry user community and the Beiks customers in particular.

"A lot of people had discovered BlackBerries can do much more than what they do best - send and receive email, and started demanding it. Beiks was the first company in the world to offer complete offline reference solutions for the BlackBerry platform and I think users just saw the connection; if you can put a large dictionary on a BlackBerry then you can put any e-Book too. Particularly the most popular book in the world.", said Bobby Kolev, president of Beiks.

Noah Bible study viewer is similar to what one can find on other mobile platforms - a generic Bible viewer with ability to load and operate multiple books, navigate quickly within a book, add bookmarks, notes etc.

The product has been heavily tested with a dedicated group of beta users prior to its official release.

The viewer is free to download and test for 10 days, at its full capabilities. It costs $19.95 to register.

Some of the Bible translations made available for it are free, like all most or all public domain Bible translations. At the initial viewer release Beiks has made available the popular KJV and ASV translations; others are expected to be converted and made available soon.

Copyrighted Bible translations like NIV, NASB and NKJV may require separate registration, if and when they become available.

Beiks is working with publishers and application developers from the Christian studies field to provide BlackBerry users with what they demand - by obtaining or granting licensing and know-how.
