For all that is good about the iPhone’s capacitive touch screen, the need to touch it with your actual finger does mean that there are a lot of people walking around in this weather with hands like frozen blue claws.
If fingerless iPhone gloves don’t quite cut it for you in the high-tech hand-warming stakes, check out these Swany G-cell gloves. They’re packed with Bluetooth, so you can answer the phone and take a call by “talking to the hand.”
Why is it everyone and his dog is launching a touch screen phone just as the season changes? Don’t they know we’ll get frostbite even trying to answer our iPhone 3G, BlackBerry Storm or Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, let alone texting or surfing? Freehands, the new winter tech essential, come to the rescue.
