Bangor makes sense, but none of the others do.  All those cities, including Hartford, the so-called insurance capital of the world (or not) with their populations of smartphone-toting professionals and academic communities aren’t heavy users?  Chicago?  Detroit?  Strange.  Makes me wonder why Men’s Health chose not to put their methodology on the page.  The magazine should really include some form of explaination.  How is this calculated?  I want to know!

Yeah, I kind of have this problem.  Especially at red lights and in waiting rooms.  I get lost inside of my Blackberry Curve, what with three email accounts pumping into it, TwitterBerry, Viigo and a mobile web browser.  Text messages, including my AIM account when signed off.  Lots of text messages.

It is something of a problem.
