Reply To: Siddur on a Smart Phone

Little Froggie, you are right if someone is “clicking tagging, pressing, dragging, pasting, expanding, re-sizing, flipping and etc.” during ring davening that would be wrong and disrespectful (to anyone, kal vechomer Hashem!) But if someone would set up the display before davening and would only need to scroll down to the next page, why would that be any different than turning pages in a Siddur? Needless to say, s/he would not check any incoming calls or texts! (Unfortunately, people are doing that even when not using the phone as a Siddur.)

By the way, Smart Siddur (app mentioned above) has an option to put the phone in silent mode while using the Siddur.
