I almost exclusively use my Windows Mobile smartphone (Touch Pro)when at church. I have over 10 translations included as well as commentary and concordance. I dare say I have more “biblical material” at my fingertips than anybody else in the service. I get a few “looks” from some people but when I get an oppurtunity I always explain this “phone” is not only my bible, bookstore, worship device, video viewing device and communication device as well as GPS. It is only natural for me to use it for studying the Word of God when I use it for everything else too.

Actually, I think most of the congregation that does use a bible are using a PDA of some sort. There’s still a number of print Bibles around, but they mostly show up at small groups. Sunday morning I think most people are content to follow the text as it is displayed on the screens.

Pen and paper still seem to lead the way among the note takers however.

Considering that I do it every week – both for Bible and Notes, I don’t think they’d have a problem with it. I’d feel pretty odd using a laptop during church unless I was serving in a position where it made sense to do that (lights, sound, video, etc). Using my PDA/Phone is pretty non-disrupting, though.

I have started to use YouVersion now on the BB. I find it a great resource for worship. Also I have been one that will twitter while I am mixing the audio for worship, but have not twittered in service when I am not in that sort of a capacity.

We have a lot of folks in one of our services that use electronic media for their bible referencing.

I use YouVersion on my iPhone as my bible most sundays at church! I’m not aware of ever having been looked down upon for it, but then I’m usually in the video booth.
