News flash: Winter=cold (until climate change kicks in that is)
When your hands are cold, you are outside and need to use your BlackBerry, you've traditionally had three choices:
Get thee inside. Not always practical.
Shiver your hands while you operate your handset. Painful, and haste to get your BB mission accomplished will be painful with each tap.
Put on your standard gloves and then use your device. Doesn't provide the tactile smoothness you need to navigate the small BlackBerry keyboard.
Oh but now a Montreal company has come up with tactile leather gloves called iTWYF.
Stands for I Touch With Your Fingers!
Just laughed in mild kink mode but this is true.
Here's how this works.
Three of the fingers come with special enhancements.
- Thumb has a Velco strap that enables only the thumb to be exposed. Hey your thumb is your broadest finger. It can take the cold.
- Index finger comes with a leather-strip that makes it easier to "target finger" for BlackBerry taping.
- The middle finger offers a tiny stud (didn't think studs could be "tiny" but I don't know about such things) that can be used as a stylus. Not RIM applicable but you never know.
Oh and $39 ($45 CDN) apiece, at the link you get when you click below.
