I'm not sure you really want to do this. There are laws in most states that forbid any electronic gambling aids. If you used the strategy card on the phone while you were playing you could be breaking the law. Yeah, I know it's silly but better safe than sorry.
 
Now, if you use it in your room prior to playing, or anywhere but the casino you should be fine.

I also have a question regarding startegy.  if I have a small pair and 3 other small cards do i keep the pair or does the computer tell you to draw 5 cards? And with a small pair and 2 face cards do i keep the face cards or the pair?

Not exactly. You can't take it in digital format. In printed format it is legal. It's still not a good idea to me for two reasons:1. If you don't know the strategy by memory you aren't ready to be playing in a casino.2. It identifies you as someone that knows what they are doing. Heat in casinos is not ubiquitous but it is far too common.~FK

That would depend on the game, but on almost every game I can think of the pair is the correct hold.~FK

Taking strategy cards to a casino and openly using them is a good way to attract unwanted attention and to get the bank downgraded. Some casinos dont care but most will notice and may do something about it.  Ive seen it first hand at some of the local casinos. While not as bad(maybe), camping out at machines with food and drinking water from the bathroom faucet is also something casinos notice and will investigate whether or not they are giving away to much. I think its pretty nasty myself.
