Winter alert- DOTS gloves for using touch-screens

dotsThe northeast U.S. is sitting under a big winter storm, including our own Kevin Tofel who may be outside shoveling snow right now, and winter gloves are the accessory of the day.  Those who live in colder climes know all too well the frustration of picking up that mobile phone with a resistive touch-screen and trying to make a call in those gloves.

Rather than risk frostbite and take the glove off to tap on the phone screen just get a pair of DOTS.  These little jewels keep your hand warm but have special “dots” in the fingertips designed especially for being sensed by your phone.  Now you can make that call and keep your hand warm at the same time.  Of course, your phone may well freeze so make it a short call.  :)

Kevin pointed me to two gloves that work on capacitive screen phones.  You iPhone (and others) owners should take a look at these two solutions that our friends at WebWorkerDaily pointed out a while back.
