Micha,

Frequently, if I were stuck somewhere without a minyan and afraid I’d miss the time limit for mincha, I’d hold my cell phone to my head and pray rather than look like a mumbling whacko in the Target parking lot.

Now that I’m in Israel, I don’t have to do that anymore, as the country’s full of mumbling whackos

What’s cute about having a siddur on my Treo is that it means that when I want to communicate with my Creator, I’m taking out my cell phone…

BTW, having Shema for Bedtime on one’s PDA, complete with backlighting, is very useful when coming home on a weeknight after one’s spouse is asleep and the lights are off.

In their defense, for some Christians the idea of preset prayers you read from a book (or a Treo) is as foreign as the idea of eating a piece of G-d would be for us. Except that Jews aren’t as common as Catholics, so they are more likely to stay ignorant.
