Using the toilet has been made faster and easier through the introduction of a high-tech model to be applied in conjunction with a smartphone operating the Android OS.

The latest in Japanese technology may have made everyday tasks a little TOO convenient. One of the natural functions or “great emergencies” is having to do a number two. For those that have access to working toilets, there is a simple push of the lever on the side. The waste gets sent into the septic tank. That’s simply all there is to it.

If you have a smartphone that utilizes the Google Android OS and have and almost $4,600 to spare, you can purchase one of the latest SATIS model toilets from the Inax company. This toilet is very high-tech as you operate it via a smartphone, provided you have the Android OS installed.

Through your smartphone, you can make the seat go up and down and flush the toilet. In this respect, it saves you a few seconds of having to do things manually.

However, there are other features to this special toilet. It tracks water consumption, electricity consumption, and so forth. Also, this toilet has built-in speakers to use in conjunction with the streaming music function of the app. While you are doing your usual business, you can listen to whatever you want.

Another feature is being able to record every minute of you using the toilet. It gets stored on the “Toilet Diary” feature of the smartphone application. Asides from being a high-tech toilet, it is combined with the unique Android app.

This special toilet will be available in February 2012.

    I’m planning to start my own blog in the near

    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
    unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had
    to ask!
