Poll: Americans overwhelmingly against texting while driving, in theory
Be honest, when's the last time you responded to a text message from behind the wheel? If you're in with the majority of cellphone-toting Americans, you've done it -- though you probably also think it should be outlawed. A recent poll of about 2,000 US adults found that some 57 percent had participated in a little SMS action while driving at some point in their lives, but they were at least cognizant of its danger, with 91 percent guessing it was as dangerous as driving on a couple drinks. We'd guess as much, too -- if not more so, considering that texting takes brain function and your eyes away from the road. 89 percent of the polled folks want the practice outlawed, which really makes us wonder about those two percent that know it's dangerous and want to keep on doing it.

It would seem Solutions Research Group's Digital Life America has its fingers on the pulse of the average iPhone hopeful (or at least a random 1,230 of them) with a new poll titled "Who Will Line Up for the iPhone." The results seem to suggest that the average iPhone line-camper will be a fairly well heeled individual (we're not surprised here, this is pretty pricey hardware) with a salary 26 percent higher than the national average, aged 31 years, and overwhelmingly male. The interesting bit in all this is that 48% of them don't currently own an iPod, so they do fit the mold Mr. Steve is aiming at. If Apple is following this type of fluff, perhaps being in NYC or somewhere in CA will help your cause come 6pm on the 29th -- but if not, you can always hop in the Lear and hit the other coast in a jiffy.

15 percent of Brits polled admit using mobile internet in toilet
Ah yes, toilet Internet -- it doesn't get much better then that when privacy and escaping from strict office 'net policies are key. In a T-Mobile commissioned poll of a couple thousand folks in England, 48 percent of them are using their mobile phones for Internet access at workplaces where Internet use is not allowed or severely limited. Further findings also point out that as many as 25 percent of users know they have access on their handsets, but aren't sure how to use it (we can now start to see how this poll may be helpful to T-Mobile). Armed with these findings T-Mobile has launched the "Set the Internet Free" campaign, and will set you up with its web'n'walk service for only the cost of a trip to your local T-Mobile shop. All of this of course leads to a couple of our own results from this poll: first, get 'em hooked, then raise the tariffs once they've adopted.[Via textually.org]
