DIY Capacitive Touch Gloves, Take that Apple patent #20090000010

So a small diversion from my Arduino efforts today, and a focus on warm winter apparel.

I bought a Motorola Droid when it came out last year and haven't looked back to my LG 77C (the C is for crap) or what ever it's stupid model was.

But now that winter is firmly upon us, grinding us down 'till the last breath of hope and life escapes from our frigid, sun starved bodies, as nothing more then a fart in the arctic wind... I got to thinking:

"Boy my hands are cold, wish I could answer phone calls with out having to take my gloves off."

So I began testing a few materials around my house, trying to find something non-abrasive that would create some capacitance on the screen (since they are capacitive touch screens). Nothing worked, not well anyway, so I tried tinfoil which worked of course, but covered it with some thin plastic, as to protect the screen, and it worked!

So without further ado, I give you the DIY Capacitive Touch Glove, or as I like to call it, "The one glove to rule them all":
