A recent article on Yahoo.com highlights the findings of a Stanford University Study that says the iPhone may be addicting. The study was administered to 200 Stanford students. Below are some quotes from the article:

The most interesting trend was how quickly the iPhone became an indispensable part of the students' lifestyles, and how many of them openly acknowledged they would be lost without it.

Nearly 85 percent of the iPhone owners used the phone as their watch, and 89 percent used it as their alarm clock. In fact, 75 percent admitted to falling asleep with the iPhone in bed with them, and 69 percent said they were more likely to forget their wallet than their iPhone when leaving in the morning.

The survey also suggests there are benefits to having an iPhone fixation that may balance out the potential negatives. Over 70 percent of those surveyed said the iPhone made them more organized, and 54 percent said the iPhone made them more productive.

Follow the link above to read the full article. It is full of interesting statistics. My wife and I both have an iPhone 3G. It has become an important tool for both of us. I think I am most surprised by how much my wife uses her iPhone. I just did not think she would use it as much as she does. She almost never goes on the home computer anymore. The addictive features for her are the ease of use and the instant on feature that allows quick access to her email.
