Keep Your Hands Warm… Use Your iPhone… With DOTS Gloves!

Apparently these ‘Dots Gloves’ have been around for awhile… But I just had a note in my inbox alerting me to them, thanks to my post on the iGlove patent that Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) ran awhile back (the gloves look strikingly similar to the patent diagrams!?). That said… I want these gloves!

There’s nothing worse (for me anyway) than having to take off your winter gloves (especially when it’s -30 outside, -40 with windchill) to answer a phone or reply to an email. It happens quite often to me, and to tell you the truth… A lot of the time I let the call or email go unanswered for a bit. If you felt the bitter cold temperatures we get up here, you’d understand!

There is thankfully a product on the market called ‘Dots’. These life-savers/gloves allow you to continue using your iPhone or most other touchscreen devices with your gloves ON. Woohoo! The official pre-amble from DotsGloves.com:

Warm hands and smudge-free touchscreens. Dots gloves enable winter usage of Apple’s iPhone without direct finger contact.

Just what I need! I am curious though to see how effective they really are. I want to order a pair right now, but unfortunately both styles that they offer are currently sold out. There’s a knit version for $15, and a wool version for $20. If you’d like to know when they become available, there’s an email notification signup right here that you can use. Good of them to offer that… I suppose it’s the least they can do!

If anyone out there already owns a pair, I’d love to hear about your experiences with them. Until I can get my hands on a pair, I’ll simply sign up for email notifications… and wait.
