Digital Communications agency Etre has launched a new pair of gloves aimed primarily at users of touch-screen devices. “Etre Touchy” gloves are stylish, fun and practical way to keep your hands warm and dry while using mobile phones, portable game systems, music players, and other electronic devices. Their missing thumb and index fingertips allow you to touch, tap, stroke, slide, and pinch these devices’ displays in any way you desire – a facet of their design that is particularly important when interacting with touch-screen devices like the iPhone and the iPod touch, since their capacitive touch-screen technology means that they can only respond to bare fingertips.

Etre Touchy gloves are available in two sizes, medium and large – and one colour – charcoal with turquoise trim. The gloves cost $14.99 GBP and can be ordered directly from www.etretouchy.com.
