[POLL] Do you use Pocket e-Sword? Should we build a Pocket e-Sword section?

Pocket e-Sword is no longer being developed (as shown on the e-Sword website), and the operating system it ran on is (all but) dead. But someone asked we make a poll to see if there's enough interest in Pocket e-Sword for us to build and maintain a downloads area.
Please take the poll and feel free to share your comments here.
Thank you,
Josh

I have converted fully to MySword for android, but I am thankful for the year or so that I was an avid pocket e sword user.

Now This Android Phone - My Sword software seems to be much better (although I don't own a Android Phone [yet]). My brother in-law told me about My Sword. He really like it.
Thanks

If someone makes modules I would probably pick them up but not sure I would invest much time in making them if I had the talent/know how.

I use an Axim with pocket esword but have enough of the modules that were offered to cover my use and I am contemplating shifting to an android unit fairly soon so mysword will do well.
If someone makes modules I would probably pick them up but not sure I would invest much time in making them if I had the talent/know how.
I bought two Dell Axims about 6 months ago because it did not seem that android was going to have anything comparable to pocket e sword where we could convert our own modules. I love pocket e sword, but I always wished that it had the ability to convert book/topic modules and the ability to search dictionaries/ commentaries.
All of the sudden because of a post by Jonathon I stumble upon MySword! And wow! It had everything I loved about pocket e sword including the ability to make our own modules and it also allows you to search all module types and convert topic/book modules (things that pocket e sword lacked). I now use it for devotions and some in depth Bible study and also as an e reader. It also allows for embedded pictures inside the modules. This is a nice feature that even e sword lacks.
I still use pocket e sword every now and then just for old times sake.

I'm also interested in sharing individual preference files like highlights (ovl), versenotes (sdf), bookkmark (lst), or prayer (prl) files.
I realize Pocket Esword has limitations on the creation of reading plans but it would be great to see the M'Cheyne Bible Reading Plan, any of the ESV reading plans, or any of the Zondervan plans converted into a format Pocket Esword could use.
Blessings!

If Android could run Word, Excel and PowerPoint I would gladly switch to MySword! Until then it is so convenient to have Bibles and Office in one device.
