No, not during the meeting. I think it's rude for people to be using devices in a meeting unless it's necessary - demo'ing, presenting, etc. Not only that, but it will make everyone else in the room uncomfortable, and the person on the device won't be paying attention or contributing much of anything.

I guess my experience has been different: we've found it very effective to have the decisions documented and reviewed before the meeting ends. This is for 3-6 folks on a small team, either face to face or on the phone/skype.
