Re: Can your Iphone bring you closer to God?

Azzan, I don't know about the iphone but my ipad sure has helped me. I have my sermons there, my funeral messages and wedding ceremonies there and am about to the point I'm gonna have to ask the folks in my church to hold up their ipads instead of their Bibles. The only problem is that guy with the ear buds in his ears during my preaching???? Don't know what he's listening to!

I agree. The Ipad is a game changer. And I hate to admit that because I hate Apple even more than I do Microsoft.

Some schools are starting to use Ipads instead of regular text books.

Couple an Ipad with Google Docs (if you're not afraid of the cloud) and you've got the platform of the future.

I'm there! But, I'm with the Apple Me.com cloud! My ipad, my iphone and my MacBook Pro are all synced with the cloud. Change one and the other two change automatically.

Now if we could get a cloud from God and everyone sync to it..... boy that would be awesome wouldn't it. And I know there's an answer to this own the way..... someone's gonna say, "Oh, we have that cloud, it's the Holy Ghost!" Well, all I've got to say is there are some on AFF and other forums who must have had a hard disc crash!

Re: Can your Iphone bring you closer to God?

Poor Catholics, confess on an IPhone and wait for absolution. All the priests must be busy.
Maybe they should just talk to Jesus.

What happens if the battery goes down before absolution?

There is one issue. The Resolution of Printed Text is much higher than the resolution of text on your monitor.

Some of us old techno dinosaurs have no issue with that "issue". I can hardly read my Droid anymore without my reading glasses.

I can't wait for those young smart alec engineers who build these cell phones and their operating systems with the tiny print to grow old and realize the struggles older folks go through. Ugh, I just realized that that last sentence makes me sound like an old grouchy person.

Re: Can your Iphone bring you closer to God?

Have you seen the new Samsung Galaxy 5?

LOOOOOOOVVVEEE IT!!!

I have Verizon, so it's called a Fascinate. I think AT&T calls it something different too.

Two friends of mine that require reading glasses both loved it as well. They were very envious of how big the display screen is. Made their Blackberries look tiny.

Love, love, love the swype function. And no REALLY annoying auto-corrects. Or worse than annoying...downright embarrassing! LOL!
