After seeing the announcement of the iPhone, my first reaction was, “That touch screen is so not practical in Canada. Even the iPod’s touch wheel doesn’t work with gloves on.” Sure enough, David Pogue’s Ultimate iPhone FAQ confirms:
“...it responds ONLY to skin touch. I couldn’t use my fingernail, for example. And you certainly can’t use a stylus.”
A friend jokingly suggested the need for iGloves. As it turns out, they do exist, except they’re called TavoGloves. At $20 they’re not badly priced either.
