If I back up a little and think about it, I'm right along with the rest of the people in the world and I'm using smartphone applications before even getting out of bed. I check my twitter and emails, maybe launch my recently updated Music beta by Google for some tunes, and soon hopefully there will be an app that will start my coffee grinding and brew for me.
