On Smartphones, PDA Phones, and Why They’re Flithy

On Smartphones, PDA Phones, and Why They're Flithy

Quick, which has the most bacteria on it?

a) The average door handle
b) Your keyboard
c) The bottom of a shoe
d) A toilet seat
e) Your mobile phone

Clue: You wouldn't be reading this on The Smart PDA (a blog about smartphones and PDAs in case it's not obvious) if the correct answer was "d," right?

Even if Dial-a-phone's study is a little informal, the online retailer's advice to "clean [your mobiles] regularly with an antibacterial wipe" makes sense. Especially when my smartphone is usually stuck to my face.

Thanks to Darla Mack for the heads-up.

    Maybe manufactures should consider some type of antibacterial surface.

    That could work. But for now I’d suggest carrying around a bottle of Alcogel if you’re really particular about cleanliness.
