Perhaps it’s coming towards the time of year when you want a twist on the traditional rubbish Christmas present. If so, I give you…conductive gloves for the chilled and chilly touchscreen user in your life.
First off these little beauties: Fivepoint Gloves.
They’ve got conductive fingertips, see, whereas normal gloves have not. For some reason I find this picture mildly disturbing. As if someone intent on a little light breaking and entering had decided to check his messages at the same time.
They’re not the only ones on the market. Here’s some more from Isotoner.
These look like the sort of gloves your father-in-law might go motoring in. Cosy, warm, and ideal for stabbing angrily at the satnav as he attempts to avoid the traffic on his journey home on Boxing Day.
Then there’s these Touchscreengloves available on Firebox. These are a chunky knit, sensible option for those suffering from frozen digital extremities, but still in need of a fix of the small screeen.
Finally, and definitely the most high tech of solutions…these little humdingers, also from Etre (the company behind the Fivepoint Glove), which would just look a bit, well, odd if you were doing anything other than browsing your iPad inside of a fridge.
