Hi, I have written about JabRef in the soon to be distributed ConTeXt bibliography subsystem documentation.
It is a fair program, but can ruin your bibtex data files if you are not careful. Answering Mojca's comment, jabref is highly configurable, so one could eventually make a decent ConTeXt configuration. The main problem, from my point of view, is that jabref, as configured by default, does not respect the "standard" (original) bibtex definitions, and seems rather adapted for some flavors of biblatex that has strayed from such standard uses. Nevertheless, jabref is a good starting point or tool that can be used to convert, say, EndNote exported reference lists to bibtex format. Of course, java is not supported on all tablets and smartphones, as far as I understand, so it is slowly being replaced by other languages. I saw this recently for some teaching tools that are being re-written in HTML5 (a stumbling block for these has been jmol that is sometimes used for chemistry and biochemistry applications).
