Flush with your smartphone: Toilets get Bluetooth

Life keeps getting better and better everyday, thanks to technology and the creative minds of a few. Google has made a significant impact in the lives of so many with its Android operating system and the opportunities provided is simply endless.

Japan already has the market cornered on fancy toilets, but there's always room for more potty innovations. A new line of toilets from Lixil will soon turn smartphones into commode controllers. The Satis toilets are set for release in early 2013. Through the magic of Bluetooth and an accompanying Android app, users will have minute control over these high-tech privies.
