Betcha Alexander Graham Bell never saw all this coming…

Are you a smartphone newcomer, or a mobile lifestyle trailblazer? Here are a couple of factoids to help you peg just where you fall in the power-user spectrum:

• Smile and text “cheese”: Almost two-thirds of cellphone users aged 18-30 years old take snapshots on their device at least once a week, according to a study by Wirefly.

• Maybe multitasking has gone too far: Apparently 53% of e-mail users admit to checking in from the bathroom.

• Handy trivia to casually toss off while watching the Olympics this weekend: A ringtone based on a song about South Korea’s claim of jurisdiction over the Dokdo islands, a remote but hotly disputed cluster of rocks midway across the sea to Japan, has become the latest way to display your patriotism in that country.

I admit, I check email from the bathroom too. Sure beats reading 10-month-old magazines (or nothing at all).

Some pretty interesting stuff. And I'll admit it as well, I've checked my email from the bathroom occasionally.

Oh, but I still can't get My Location from the bathroom with my Treo. Palm, are you seriously going to not update my 680 with functionality that I am virtually certain is there while you updated the Centro to expose it. Please give me a real reason, one that I can accept. Because 'We just aren't so tough' isn't a good enough reason for me.
