Carrying your bible with you all the time

As a guy, I often envy the fact that women carry handbags. They have this fantastic way of carrying whatever they need, all the time. If I had a handbag, I'd look strange. Instead, I tend to overload my pockets, but that has other drawbacks, and you can't carry much that way - particularly not a decent Bible. A small one, sure... but as soon as you want to be able to have something with study notes, or a concordance, forget it. As a bloke, it's a problem!

But for the past year or so, it's been easy. I got myself a Windows Mobile phone. I always have this with me, because it's my phone. I got a stylus that is a pen in disguise, so now I also have a pen with me all the time too. But best of all, I got some Bible Software for it, so now I have the Bible with me wherever I go. I can also download Christian podcasts so that I can listen to the Bible, or a sermon, a study, whatever if I'm driving. I have one with quite a big screen, which makes it bigger and more cumbersome, but easier to read.

My phone is an O2 IIs - although that's quite an old model now. I use Laridian to read the Bible, with about 10 different versions, as well as a Strong's Concordance, various daily studies and bible dictionaries. And I use Egress as an RSS reader, to let me download podcasts as well as other studies. I even use it to read BibleTechnology!
