It's that time of year. It's time to give, receive…and be cold. Depending on the area, sometimes really cold. This makes it harder to use some devices. Unbeknownst to many, lots of devices are not just standard touch screens. This means that not just any touch will work on a device like an iPad or smartphone. The screens need induction, carried over from our hands. You can't use the stylii of old to interact with your devices. So what happens if you want to keep your hands warm? You can't wear gloves and use your device, so you're stuck with cold hands…until now. Newer Technology has a solution with their NuTouch gloves. Do they work as advertised? Let's find out.

The thing that sets these gloves apart from regular gloves is the special conductive fiber that is woven to every finger on the glove. This allows you to use your iPad, iPhone, Android phone, etc. while keeping your hands warm. During the winter, this is especially useful. I had a few concerns about the gloves. Would this special fibers make them uncomfortable? Itchy? Would these fibers make the experience feel too different? I can say happily that this isn't the case. I tried out the gloves, and so did my girl friend. We both agree that they feel very comfortable, and are very warm, not itchy at all. The fingertips didn't feel any different than any other gloves, even though you can see the little grooves on each finger.

We tested the gloves with several devices. We used an iPad, iPhone 4, Sony Xperia PLAY, and a Nintendo DS Lite. They worked perfectly with all these devices. It felt great having warm hands and still being able to use our devices. If you're looking for a way to stay warm while you read on your iPad, or work on your smartphone while keeping your hands warm. The gloves are available in sizes from S to XL, and have a stylish dark gray color. I fully recommend them to everyone who wants to keep warm in this cold weather while using their tech toys while looking stylish.
