TLC for texting tragics

A resort in Hawaii is offering a "hands-free mini massage" to reinvigorate the overworked texting fingers of guests.

The new ‘TLC for PDA’ poolside service at the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i at Manele Bay also sees attendants polishing the screens of iPhones or Blackberries, or taking them away for a quick recharge while the guest snoozes.

Special PDA-inspired drinks are available, too, such as the Blackberry Mojito and the iPom.

The new service follows a survey by US careers site CareerBuilder.com which suggested that 60% of workers can’t log off with their smartphone when they’re on holiday.
