How Cool Would You Look with iPhone Gloves?

[rdwalsh]

I went through this issue last winter. I used to take transit to and from work. In the winter is cold and you dont want to wait outside, like I did. But you can phone the transit office, input you transit stop number and they would tell you where the bus/train was or how long it would be before it got to your stop.

So therefore, in the cold these gloves would have been nice to have, then I wouldn't have had to take of my gloves and could just use the device. That was always a pain because it was painstakingly cold outside.

I would totally wear them as long as they look like regular plain gloves. Dont even want an apple logo on them, maybe if it was tiny and not show offish.

its 25 here right now. I would totally wear these if I was outdoors and stuff... But I work out at LA Fitness and thank god its indoors and heated lol so I personally wouldnt use it all the time but the concept should be developed.

I can see some use out of them but basicly i think it is an idea waiting to fail! I think not that many would be sold. But as some things happen, Who knows, it might become a fad.

if its really that cold outside, it must be snowing. and if its snowing, u shouldn't be taking your phone out anyway. its like wanting to use your phone in the rain, n being mad at apple u can't. if its that cold you probably are wearing multiple layers of clothes, and your phone is embeded somewhere in those layers. its hard to take your phone out of your pocket wearing big bulky gloves, let alone being trying to hold n use it with gloves, in the cold, in your multiple layers of clothing.

You must have had never lived in a cold place, or else u would know that it doesn't always snow when it's cold, as a matter of fact most of the time when it's really cold it's not snowing. Atleast that's the case in Montreal, Canada. It was -29 degree celcius with windchill factor yesterday and I couldn't bother to check my bus schedule on my iPhone while waiting on the que, simply because it was too cold. So if there is a gloves that's warm, cheap and works with iPhone, I'm definitely interested.

A guy is walking down 12th srteet on NY; two inches of snow had fallen that morning, its -7 degrees outside and its freezing cold, and his iphone starts to softly vibrate through the layers of clothes on his right jacket pocket, with a jolly christams tune that he had downloaded the night before on cyida, he takes his iphone out to pick up the call and he didnt have to take his thick leather gloves off beckause he was wearing iPhone Gloves. **-PlOP-**

Haven't been to Wisconsin, have you?

I usually take my break outside, just to get out of that building, but yeah, it's either take my mittens off or not use the phone. I still wouldn't buy those though...

[Renblade]

Seems like a cool idea.

Get it? Cool?

(insert posh laugh here)

Nice that they have thought of this... but glad I am not in Michigan during the winter months anymore!

it'd probably be a good idea to mention that it's NSFW...

wow, you really don't know what you're talking about, do you?

[KingShorty]

Living in Chicago, I think these would be really useful, at the right price, of course!

It's not easy trying to reply a text with the iPhone slipping and sliding in the cold palm of my hands.

Why? because Coworkers might think your insane talking to your hand? I believe building it yourself is 1) more FUN 2) more customized 3) cheaper 4) no one else has it.
PS Thanks to Google I found out what you was talking about :P

Like Michael Jackson, eh eh...lol

you either don't live in a cold climate or are not very observant. I have seen plenty of days that were well below zero without a drop of snow in the sky.

[mad2100]

I think that's a stupid idea too. I live in Ukraine (which is a colder climate) and I've been using thin gloves ever since the iphone came out and they work fine (they keep you warm too). I'm sorry to break the designer's heart here but there are many companies that already make gloves with silicone palms (non slip) and I happen to own a pair which works great too (Burton makes it). Colder climate countries have snowboard shops and these gloves are easily available there))))) Happy shopping and a happy new year.

i would buy it hell yea gets cold where i line in Jersey brrrr!!

NOW WAIT JUST ONE DARN TOOT'N MINUTE HERE!

A "Glove" that lets you "control" your "electronic device"...

And Apple owns the PATENT?!?!

So let's re-cap here...

Nintendo Power Glove Released - 1989

Apples "Power Glove" Released - TBA

Nintendo Wii, a revolutionary console that features an accelerometer in order to be used in it's games as well as musical application and multimedia function, Released - November 19, 2006

Apple iPhone, a revolutionary phone that uses an accelerometer in order to be used in multimedia, musical application and games Released (okay so it does act as a communication and quasi navigation device, but let's be honest, it can still be substituted for a Gameboy) - June 29, 2007

Conclusion? I think the facts speak for themselves...
