New iPod shuffle first hands-on - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
Christine Chan, the JoshMeister, Zee. and 7 other people liked this
We just nabbed one of Apple's new button-free iPod shuffles, and in case you were wondering: yes, it's really small. We're gonna play around a bit with the VoiceOver navigation and get you our full impressions in a few, but at first glance we think this is totally usable, especially for the shuffle's sweaty target demographic. Also: it's really small. - Engadget

wanna know how that voice sounds. nice english lady?

Look at that mess. It just screams: Wireless headset! Where's A2DP?
- TranceMist
Can we get a wireless headset yet? I saw one before I think but it was super expensive!
- orionstarr
I wish apple would just get rid of the shitty headphones, wireless would be a good step after that.
- Frank Senseney
Wireless headphones still have battery life issues... but yes, Apple really needs to offer the option.
- Bill Sodeman
Good sound quality would be nice also

Apple Bandai Pippin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

The Apple Bandai Pippin, known in Japan as Pippin Atmark (ピピンアットマーク ,Pipin Attomāku?), is a multimedia platform designed by Apple Inc. (then Apple Computer, Inc.) and produced by Bandai in the mid 1990s. It is based around a 66-MHz PowerPC 603 processor, a 14.4 kbit/s modem and runs a stripped version of the System 7.5.2 operating system. The goal was to create an inexpensive computer aimed mostly at playing CD-based multimedia titles, especially games, but also functioning as a network computer. It featured a 4× CD-ROM drive and a video output that could connect to a standard television monitor. The platform was named for the Newtown Pippin, an apple cultivar, related to the McIntosh apple (which is the origin of the name Macintosh).

Okay, new question for my church-going friends. Do you use your cell phone in church - if so, what do you use it for?

Let's keep the conversation going here - if the conversation is good enough I may do a blog post. I think there is some great use for technology like the iPhone at church.

I work with the youth, and so I don't believe in setting a double standard. If they can't use them to be checking sports scores, texting friends, etc. than I'm not going to either. I have five rules: 1.) It's OK in emergencies 2.) If it is being used to enhance the experience we're all sharing, it's ok. (calling people to get them to activities, finding out if someone is up for a visit,...

Calender items, notes and on occasion accessing the scriptures via the Internet..... but NEVER texting.
- Kathryn Skaggs
i think appropriate use of technology can be beneficial... i'm far more likely to remain engaged when i'm looking up supplementary material or cross-referencing scripture. with a phone/pocket pc/iPhone i can look up that quote that i can almost remember, i can jot down notes so i'll remember later. and i'm far less likely to carry a pad of paper to church with me.

Some day (if someone doesn't beat me to it), I'd like to create a social scripture study app for all faiths - you can comment real time on your reading, and share findings with others.

I used to bring the Treo, to have the standard works, hymns, lessons on. Now, I leave all the gadgets at home. You know I'd be Friendfeeding during communion and on Fast Sunday.
- Louis Gray
If I am alone at church, I will occasionally tweet and/or friendfeed the highlights from the sermon. http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Ontario Emperor
Occasionally, if I have the kids on my own in the parents room I will check email, and do some RSS reading while I am watching the kids. I can't hear the sermon in the parents room unfortunately so I play with the kids and check things on my cell.
- LGR
Never. In the past I have used it to save notes or ideas that may pop into my head, but lately I turn the thing off on the way in and back on on the way out.
- James Hull
I like jtzemp's comments. I carry 3 phone/PDA-type devices with me (yes, I know it sounds silly, but there's a reason for each device). I use my personal PDA (not a phone) for notes, scriptures, lesson manuals, hymns, and my calendar. I use my Treo (my work PDA-phone which is Internet-enabled but not calling-enabled) to look up talks on lds.org during meetings when appropriate e.g. if a particular talk is the main focus of a lesson, and also for typing notes during General/Stake Conference...

...And finally, I use my personal cell phone only before/after church, or to add a church member's phone number.

This will probably blur the definition of "in church," but I'm on the AV team, so we send texts from the sound board to the video room all the time. We just turn our ringers off. At the same time, we occasionally remind people that they could be on camera at any time, so they shouldn't text or talk on cellphones during service. Last week, the Assistant Pastor's phone rang during communion service. It was hilarious.

Harvey, I hear those AV teams can get pretty religious anyway ;-)

Jesse, I think a social scripture study app sounds very interesting. Be sure to let us know if you get around to making one. =) By the way, I re-tweeted/plurked/etc. this conversation.

Thanks Josh - btw, you need an iPhone ;)

I don't see what people have against txt. I often txt bible quotes and prayer requests to my friends. We also use it for group announcements in the groups within the church as well as invites to weekend events
- Andy Wilkin
Personally I make sure to turn my mobile phone off during services. I prefer to focus on the worship and the message. I sit quite close to the front of our church and am always fascinated to see some members of the pastoral team busily taking notes on their blackberries/iPhones etc - I have often wondered just what it is they're writing - whether it's notes on the message they're hearing or whether they're checking their gmail I just don't know!
- Matt Hooper
I'll typically process email (mostly deleting and saving replies for later), text a few people, and check twitter once or twice. I try not to check email too much during Sunday School, 'cus I'm the teacher. :-)
- Walter Reade
I use BibleReader on Treo for scriptures. I've taught a session of our new members class with it when I left my printed Bible in the car. As the band leader and the associate pastor of worship/arts and media, I'm prone to get urgent texts from my teams. When used in the right context, a PDA phone is a great tool in a worship service.

Anthony: is BibleReader a mobile website?
- Alex Sauceda
nope -- it's either off or on silent
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I leave them in the car
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
iphone has a bible app i think for free, be useful if you could bookmark pages (not sure what it can do, haven't downloaded it)
- Chris Harris
I don't use the phone and try to not check email ;), but I do use the PDA functionality, mostly for calendar and contacts.
- Tac Anderson
No phone in church, certainly not worship. It certainly is useful in other service and teaching activities, though, of course.
- XDpaul
Nope, I turn my cel off as I walk through the parking lot.
