I’ve got friends who are addicted to their iPhones and other touchy-phones, and I saw [these gloves with a little pad built into the index finger](http://www.amazon.com/Freehands%C2%AE-Tech-Tip-IPhone-Phones-Unisex/dp/B002X9AEAC/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1260551968&sr=8-11) which is supposed to allow you to still use your touchscreen while keeping your hands warm in your gloves. Looks like a neat idea for a gift, but do they work well? Has anyone here tried them?
