The three-screen user experience will be launched this spring on the web and Yahoo!

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

InFlight Labs, LLC, new proprietary product called Inflight 911 Services which is scheduled to be released later this year has selected the FAA-approved iPad as their device of choice. Inflight 911 Services will leverage the aircrafts Wi-Fi Internet connection over the iPads web browser to establish a top priority connection between aircraft personnel and the Inflight 911 Services administrative team.

With one touch, an airline pilot or flight crew member can access a secure network which gives them immediate 2-way communication between the aircraft and the Inflight 911 Services administrative team. Inflight 911 Services communications are also simultaneously transmitted to the mobile and/or computer devices of 100 + government personnel, such as the FAA, Homeland Security, FEMA, FBI, CIA, e911 and related agencies. Inflight 911 Services dynamic web interface stores more than 18 points of critical information in an encrypted format about the flight details, air crew and current crisis situation. New Inflight 911 Services upgrades include: 2,000 character Emergency Messages, a Live InFlight Audio and Streaming Video /Recorder, Speech Recognition Software for message entry and embedded Geo-location coordinates in the message body.

Inflight 911 Services can be accessed over any Wi-Fi enabled device but we feel that the iPad is the best choice for the job states Joseph Bekanich spokesperson for InFlight Labs.

Inflight 911 Services is the perfect Plan B as an in-flight emergency alert system which will benefit everyone from airline staff to passengers and government officials by bringing numerous key resources together within minutes of an in-air emergency.

In addition to the iPad, the Bible Scholar app is also supported by the following devices: iPhone,Android (smartphones and tablets), BlackBerry, Windows Phone (Mango), and Symbian (Nokia).

A deep knowledge of the Scriptures and an understanding of the history of the Christian Church are essential to the foundation of every Christian. For so long it has been a big challenge to gain access to a historical account of Christianity with ease without attending a Bible College. Hence, individuals on the go with busy schedules could not fully participate in this quest without radically changing their schedules. To gain this knowledge required attaining a massive library costing hundreds, even thousands of dollars.

The Bible Scholar Interactive App for iPad is the first and only app for the iPad and all major smartphones that successfully provides an in depth account of the Churchs origin by shedding light on the age of the Apostles, Medieval Christianity, Christianity in the Middle Ages, and explores the German and Swiss reformations.

Now any serious student of the Bible can access this information with a simple tap on his or her iPad or smartphone. Considering the wealth of information in this app, it is amazing to know that this iPad app is available on the iTunes App Store for just $ 3.99.

The Bible Scholar app was named one of "25 Incredible iPad Apps Every Theology Student Should Have" by Theology Degrees Onlinea site dedicated to the promotion of ensuring the quality of future religious leaders and scholars learning.

Additionally, The Bible Scholar Interactive App for iPad has a Bible, a quiz with hundreds of questions, two Bible dictionaries, one topical Bible by Naves, seven separate Bible commentaries, The Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin, eight volumes of Church history, and much more. This app contains more than 14,000 pages of Bible study gems.

The Bible Scholar was also named one of "40 Awesome Android Apps for Scripture Study" by Masters in Divinityan online site that focuses on promoting advanced degrees for pastors and professional ministry.

The Android version for smartphones and tablets (which is split into two sets) is available on the Android Market and Amazon Appstore for Android (Kindle Fire).

Talking about the Android version, one Dr. Nathan wrote: "Fantastic volume of information. It's equal to 20 volumes of history and contemporary learning that's sure to provide hours of interesting research sufficient to form an apologetic learning foundation. A Great find. Price these apart and $ 200 would be a bargain."

Users of this app can copy and paste the content into emails and transfer to a desktop or laptop and incorporate it into study notes, sermons, articles, research papers or just to share with a friend. Users can also use the share feature to post to Facebook or Twitter.

The Bible Scholar Interactive App for iPad is a scholar's gold mine.

The new Windows Mango version of The Bible Scholar app has all the amazing new features that this new platform offers.

In this premier value rich Bible-based iPad App, the developers have included more than 20 volumes (with more than 14,000 Pages) of wonderful Bible study tools that answer all the questions a person could have about the Holy Scriptures.

Matthew Henrys Bible Commentary

Institutes of the Christian Religion, four volumes by John Calvin

Peoples New Testament Commentary

Smiths Bible Dictionary

The Treasury of David, Six Volumes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

History of the Christian Church Volumes 1 to eight by Philip Schaff

Updated King James Version of the Holy Bible. This contains more than 1800 pages.

Charisma News (founded by Steve Strang), recently reported a study conducted by LifeWay that surveyed 2,000 Bible readers. The article concludes that respondents overwhelmingly prefer a Bible translation that is simpler to understand.

The Updated KJV Bible is the King James Bible without the antiquated words as a way to appeal to a modern generation. Yet, this version retains the poetic flow of the King James Version that has endeared many to this most beloved Bible version.

This is arguably the most comprehensive Bible related app on the iTunes App Store. Every Christian or student of history will find this app to be worth the investment.
