Does anyone know of or have a cab file for a FREE Bible App.

There seem to be a few here:

EDIT:
Pocket e-Sword seems to be the most promising, but all the links seem to be broken except for this one:

I've been using BibleReader for a number of years and haven't seen the need to switch to another. It's not exactly finger-friendly, but I don't mind using the stylus. Their built-in toolbars are very useful and efficient; I prefer them, rather than having to navigate through cascading soft menus.

Though they sell various translations, a number of them are free, in addition to various devotionals, study references, etc.

Their web site's navigation leaves a bit to be desired, so here's a link that takes you to the download of their PocketPC version.

Olivetree is a good for a FREE bible app (a few of the public domain translations are free) but not as a good paid app. In other words I wouldn't pay for their copyrighted translations/commentaries (NIV, NASB, etc). Unfortunately Olivetree has essentially ceased any development of their PPC products a long time ago. (I inquired with them and they basically confirmed they dropped PPC as a platform for further development).

There's also a great mobile site that may meet your needs. It has almost every translation and some study tools.

Laridian has a pocket bible demo thats an older version. It comes with the King James Bible. Version 3.x works great on WM 6.1 but I'm having some slight issues with v4 on WM 6.5. V4 is also not yet finger friendly (scrolling) but the menus scale well to the new WM6.5

+1 for e-sword. It's the best I have found and many free translations and study aids for it.
