Talk to the hand.

Bluetooth smartphone gloves | Hi-FunWe've been singing the praises of increasingly stylish touchscreen gloves for a while now. But now I've come across ingenious gloves that not just allow you to answer with your fingers, they literally allow you to talk to your hand via Bluetooth.

 

The Bluetooth gloves from a company called Hi-Fun have a tiny speaker sewn into the gloves along with a microphone that you can hold up to your ear like a mime pretending to make a call. Only, you really do!

And get this, the "control panel" to answer/end calls is located on the cuff so you can simply hang up with a touch of your finger. When you need to, just recharge with a USB.

Answer your smartphone with Bluetooth gloves from Hi-Fun

While I could live without the cutesie logo on the wrist, it's still pretty amazing. Finally I can keep my gloves on and still talk on the phone. Looking like James Bond while I'm at it is just a bonus. -Jeana 

The Hi-Fun Bluetooth Gloves are available for pre-order from Firebox for around $80 from Europe, excluding shipping.We love the disclaimer that it will not actually turn your hand into a phone, because that would make you a Cyborg.

Unreal! I have a pair of touchscreen gloves that I am very thankful for, but this is very different. Obviously not intended for the snow/wet conditions! Thanks for sharing this find!
