Is there a version for adults?

As Elvis Costello once sang, "I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused..."

For the child who has everything, it could be the ultimate toilet training accessory.

With recent figures showing a huge rise in the number of toddlers being given iPads and other expensive gadgets, the iPotty - a potty with a built in iPad holder, might not be as daft as it first seems.

The firm behind it claims the gadget, revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, can help children feel more comfortable by allowing them to watch videos or play games while answering the call of nature.
