Quoted from Engadget, hi-Call
houses a little mic and speaker into thumb and pinkie allowing you to
make calls by just making a hand gesture while protecting your hands
from cold. Not only has it, the hi-call gloves’ touch-sensitive material
made it easy to control your Smartphone without removing them off.
It's a shame they don't have gesture control allowing you to merely hold the gloves up to your head to activate voice dialling. You could hang up the phone with a raised middle finger and summon metal music by raising your forefinger and pinkie.
Hi-Fun will go on sale in Europe starting this October for about $60 USD, where at that time the countries of Europe will welcome the winter. *** [RIF | ENGADGET | BONJOUR LIFE | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 11102012]
