Holy iPad Slayer! Company Releases World's First Christian Tablet 326
Velcroman1 writes "Steve Jobs worshippers need not apply. But if you're looking to get in God's good graces, or you're simply in the market for a family-friendly tablet, you may want to check out Family Christian's Edifi. Billed as the world's first Christian tablet, its genesis came with the inevitable intersection of technology and religion, according to Brian Honorable, a technology supervisor at Family Christian, the group that sells the tablet. 'We wanted to be able to offer our customers the ability to use our Holy Bible application, which has 27 different English translations of the Bible,' Honorable said."

Just a movie version, not the real thing. The original Mosaical tables may or may not have had rounded corners, but they definitely had the awesome feature of being double-side. I don't know of any tablet device offering this today.
Ex 3515 Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written.

I used to listen to some christian rock when I was a kid.
There was some good stuff out there. Whitecross had a couple albums I really liked - they fit into the glam rock scene that was popular before the grunge bus ran everyone over. Petra had some good stuff if you like keyboard-heavy REO Speedwagon type stuff. Mortification was a christian band, although I could never make out the lyrics - growling death metal wasn't my thing. A lot of people liked Stryper, but I never got into them. There was more, but it's been twenty years.
My parents bought me a DC Talk CD once, but since I wasn't into rap I can't really comment on the quality. Kinda Run-DMCish, IIRC, but I'm no expert.
There's a christian station in our town, and it plays "comtemporary christian" music. Easy listening type stuff, generally. I couldn't stand it then, and I can't stand it now.
I imagine there's still a market for christian rock groups, and if nothing's changed, there's probably some good stuff out there. It's a good niche for the right group. You probably won't find any Jimi Hendrixes or Randy Rhoads in there, but you might find a Joe Perry or a Kip Winger.
