iPhoneWell its taken me almost 6 months but I’ve finally found a flaw in my lovely iPhone! With all the “cold weather” that has hit the UK I’ve been having to wear gloves when being outside (understandably) unfortunately the iPhone does not work when wearing gloves. So the screen on an iPhone works by noticing the change in electrical current when my finger touchs the screen. Doing a quick google confirms that this is indeed how it works! http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/iphone1.htm.

So now I’m thinking well this isn’t much good being unable to use my iPhone when its cold outside! Ah but wait where there is a will there is a way, now you can get eTip Gloves (isnt it great that everything either comes with an e or i infront of it these days).  You might be wondering what are eTip gloves well basically they allow current this current change to happen on the screen allowing you to have warm fingers and a working phone :-) .

Google Product Search shows that North Face are the people that make most of them:
