A new 'patch' for the iPhone. Because they lack a thumb and index finger, the
Etretouchy gloves let you - finally! - use the iPhone while wearing gloves. Imagine that: both warm hands
and that warm fuzzy feeling of interacting with your iPhone. I do presume the gloves work on other mobile phones as well; on my previous phone, with a regular keyboard, sending an sms with your gloves on was pretty much impossible. And that you might look somewhat ridiculous while wearing them, ah, we'll take that for granted (remember, somehow
Uggs became cool too!). And admittedly, they have a certain cute-factor: even despite all Etre's shameless self-promotion for this product on their
blog (which is excellent by the way), we couldn't resist mentioning them.
UPDATE
Ah... there's competition: the
freehands gloves (via
CultofMac). (Don't know if they really are competition. Although they offer the same functionality, the freehands are somewhat more... eh... ugly)
UPDATE 2
Another competitor. The
dots glove does not have cut-off fingertips like the etretouchy or the freedhands, but small added 'dots' on the fingertips, that allow you to operate the iPhone's touch-screen.
