first thought that came to mind

I already have my dialing wand

But these gloves would make anyone fat fingered.

I hope they work better than my own (bony) fingers because they don't work on my iPhone half the time.

/its camera sucks too

I have last year's gloves which work on my ipod but not my iphone. Other than the two little dots they're just basic gloves.

We are such a lazy people.

"Hold on, let me see how to get there with the GPS on my phone. Also, I'll read reviews of the place and check my e-mail too because this 3 X 5 thin square also has access to all the world's information. Then we can go there and take pictures with the same dev . . devic . . . device . . why isn't it working?"
"Take off your gloves"
"OH F*CK THIS shiat! WHAT AN INCONVENIENCE!"

When I use my touch screen I do it in one hand with my the corner of my thumb next to the nail. So I just need to get a bit of conductive yarn for my gloves, thank guys.

If these fools failed to get their patents some glove maker is going to make a mint with "iPhone compatible gloves".

I Said: We are such a lazy people.

Ok, that was pretty good...

/thanks for teh lulz

I hate touch-screen keyboards.

"Jeremy Horwitz, editor of iLounge, a Web site that covers Apple devices, said the fingertips on DOTS gloves aren't as effective as an ungloved hand.

"These tips are able to activate the key icon-sized features of the iPhone and iPod touch - turning on music, changing tracks and adjusting volume - but offer too little precision for typing," he told the Daily News. "

I don't know about this guy, but the last time I tried to type with gloves on didn't work out so well (non-iPhone). I imagine typing on a full size keyboard could also be problematic.

/dialing wand please

HAHAHA suckers! My Voyager doesn't care what you touch the screen with. You also have to slide your finger to unlock the iPhone! All i have to do is put pressure on the corner with my ass. As a matter of fact I am ass-dialing someone right now! Stupid Apple products!!

look, make fun of smartphone users if you want.

but, this is a brilliant idea, for a good price (the gloves aren't $50), and actually useful.
Nice job, american entrepreneurs.

I'm still waiting for a decent quality rag-on-a-stick.

They should try Handerpants.

/obligatory

they have had gloves like these for a while, at least for people who go skiing and snowboarding

This sounds familiar...was subby looking at the Farkives and sub'd an old story?

My birthed got me a pair of gloves for my birthday because they were sold out for Christmas last year. They work pretty well. I DRTFA but I don't see anything new here.

I don't have an iPhone, but up here in MA answering the phone with gloves on is a real concern. Apparently the solution is to use your nose.

He had this figured out ages ago.

This is a good idea.

But where I live it gets so cold in winter that you just can't use electronic devices outside anyway, making this invention somewhat useless.

Who uses fingers on their touchscreen phone?

HTC ftw.

Perfect timing. Tomorrow Canadians will be able to get an iPhone from 3 different carriers (Bell, Telus, Rogers), instead of just one.

I wish I had the patience to look up the dilbert comic that actually relates to this.

Had'em since '06 at least.

You know what they say about people with fat fingers...they'll probably die of a brain tumor.
