Many iPhone owners run apps before getting out of bed
When you wake up in the morning, bleary-eyed and still in bed, do you reach for your phone to check Facebook or read an email? If you answered yes, you are not alone. According to a survey conducted by telecommunications hardware manufacturer Ericsson, 35 percent of respondents grab their iPhone or Android phone and launch a mobile app before getting out of bed.
Checking Facebook and other social networks is the most popular activity with 18 percent of people reading their news feed while still in the sack. This trend of early morning Facebook-ing may increase in the future as 20 percent of survey respondents expect to buy a new mobile phone in the near future. One with Facebook, we presume.

No way. I get up and turn on the coffee. I don't even pick up my iPhone until I take it off the charger and put it in my pocket on my way out the door. I sit down at the table with my MBPro while drinking coffee before I ever pick up my iPhone.

Unless of course if I'm staying home, as then I will lie in bed until I have to get up or get hungry, messing around with apps on my devices while watching something on Netflix via the Xbox 360.

May 12 2011 at 1:15 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyHaha, this is exactly what I do. I'm actually still half asleep in bed as I write this... although I have had times where I fall asleep and I mysteriously find my iPhone lying on the floor and then I'm like "oh how did that get there".
