Gadget for your luxury toilet by Brondell

Like so many other electronics (think smartphones, flat panel T.V.s & gaming) Japan has been an early adopter of the bidet toilet seat as well.  According to the Cabinet Office of Japan, as of 2009, penetration of the bidet toilet seat in Japan was 72%.  This is comparable to personal computers at 75% and digital cameras at 72%.  Even tech novices in Japan are bidet toilet seat savvy.  Here in North America, penetration has begun to show a spark of the explosive growth that is possible.  In the United States alone, there are 220 million residential toilets.  A 1% penetration rate equates to a potential $1 billion market.  This would be the size of next year’s projected Social Gaming industry.  Think of Brondell as the next Zynga.  That’s what caught the imagination of founders Dave Samuel (co-founder of Freestyle Capital, Spinner.com and Crackle.com) and Scott Pinizzotto (former Product Engineer with Sony in Japan) as well as investor Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks, founder of Broadcast.com and consummate entrepreneur).
