Knowing you geeks you might have the spare parts already flying around in your house
it'd probably be a good idea to mention that it's NSFW...

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

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.
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.

uh huh...
NOW WAIT JUST ONE DARN TOOT'N MINUTE HERE!
A "Glove" that lets you "control" your "electronic device"...
And Apple owns the PATENT?!?!
I think NOT!
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...

Have you used a game glove? It is mostly a CHORE to use as a game controller. That and these iPhone gloves that they speak of donlt claim to be a controller in and of themselves... And the iphone really is the first device to have an accelerometer in a handheld mobile phone device (or handheld gaming device if you WANT to consider it that...) AND do it right. yeah,CAN play gameboy games on it, but not officially, so such information does nothing to solidify your argument. I love Nintendo and I loved Microsoft. I do not consider myself a fanboy of Apple by any means, but credit must be given where credit is due. That being said, these things are probably going to be overpriced if they ever make it to market!
i alreadty have one of those. Not made by apple of course, but the same thing. On all the finger tips there is a small "stulys-dot". Pretty god damn nice. I got them from my uncle, so i don't know where to get them
