You Can’t Use an iPhone With Gloves
Mobile Phones
- August 10th, 2007
The point of this video is to test how well a certain competitor’s new product might work in the sub-zero temperatures of Helsinki. Being that it’s currently summer in Finland, it’s perhaps not the best time to test this. However, the guys at F-Secure decided to shove it in the freezer to see how it fared.
Yup, I guess that fancy touch-screen’s not going to do so well in Helsinki during the winter. Hat-tip to Jonathan Greene for finding this one.
To an extent all phones with normal buttons are in a similar position. I have the Nokia N95, and when I am wearing gloves, it very difficult to hit the number you are wanting, even with a thin pair of gloves.
But a solution around that is voice activated dialing using a bluetooth headset or headphone, so the problem can be minimized.
Great blog though!
