According to a [url=http://gizmodo.com/5066724/im-writing-this-from-my-toilet-you-people-are-disgusting][color=#dc870e]recent survey conducted by Nokia[/color][/url], 53 percent of Americans have taken a work-related call or email in the bathroom. Although the data has been lost, [url=http://gizmodo.com/5033491/question-of-the-day-do-you-use-your-cellphone-on-the-toilet][color=#dc870e]we conducted a survey[/color][/url] in the past that found the percentage could be even higher. So what does this all mean? I think the answer is clear...we want to work in the bathroom. Yeah, it sounds gross but consider this: many of us do our best thinking in the bathroom. Our productivity could skyrocket (in more ways than one). So, I say why fight it. Here are some gadgets to help you get started on your own bathroom-based home office.
[img=520,348]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/boom-arm-starbase-workstation.jpg[/img]Boom Arm Starbase Workstation: Okay let's start with the basics. You are going to need a way to mount your laptop so that it is easily accessible from the toilet. This swing arm should do the job nicely—plus it is height adjustable and comes with a built-in cupholder. Yeah, that's right—a cupholder. You're already working in the bathroom, eating and drinking are not far behind.

[img=400,256]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/loo-read.jpg[/img]The Loo Read: Having a full-on desk in there is going to take up too much space, but you still need a flat surface to spread out paperwork now and then. In that case, the Loo Read has you covered. It may even be sturdy enough to support light or ultraportable laptops. [[url=http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/you-need-a-better-diet/the-loo-read-helps-you-concentrate-on-the-task-at-hand-263667.php][color=#dc870e]Link[/color][/url]]
[img=558,586]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/shop-fishnflush-big.jpg[/img]Fish n' Flush Toilet: As for the throne itself, you are going to need something a little better than your standard toilet. This particular version uses half its reservoir to create a fish tank—which is perfect for reducing stress at work. Although, I would go easy on the coffee and beef for a while. Reducing the amount of available water in the tank means less capacity for flushing.

[img=400,323]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/AquariumSink.jpg[/img]Moody Aquarium Sink: If you would prefer, the aquarium concept is also available in a sink version.

[img=463,411]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/d630.jpg[/img]Dell Latitude XFR D630: I suppose it goes without saying, but if you are going to work in the bathroom you will need a laptop that can handle the occasional splash of water. The Dell Latitude XFR D630 can do that and much more. In fact, it meets Department of Defense MIL-STD 810F standards for operation in extreme temps, moisture and altitude. Plus, the specs are decent with a Core 2 Duo processor, 14.1-inch / 500nit screen, 802.11n, and high-end thermal management for the processor and RAM running on XP.

[img=450,319]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/lcd-wall-mirror_12.jpg[/img]Wall Mirror TV/PC: There are plenty of [url=http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/seura-television-mirror-166156.php][color=#dc870e]mirror TVs[/color][/url] out there, but manufacturers are also starting to throw PCs in to the mix as well. The "ARCO" falls into this category with an all-in-one PC, TV and LCD embedded behind mirrored glass.

The XP1 is a Europe-only release, but an American version is [url=http://gizmodo.com/5060206/sonim-xp3-the-worlds-toughest-phone-coming-to-the-us][color=#dc870e]already on its way[/color][/url].
