Awesome gadget: Bloothoth gloves, super cool!
« on: August 31, 2012, 03:08:38 PM »
These are launching in Italy for 49 EUR, hopefully $49 or so when they launch in the US.



Am I a geek, or are these an amazing idea? More info and a video on Engadget.

IMHO, cool, yes. awesome, not so much.
it doesn't have some of the basic convenience of a regular BT
I as a geek would actually considering getting one, when not for the fact that I never use gloves even on winter

my advice:don't purchase a pair before it really kicks in, unless you wanna look like the craziest person in town. or like my 2 year old pretending owning a cell

Do they come a pair? Can I pair each one to a different device?

The article on engadget was less than flattering. Dropped calls and trouble hearing? Not worth looking like a fool for. Also, these glove are not water proof, making them highly impractical. Pass.

One of the main uses for bluetooth is so that you can keep your hands empty to do other things, this does not accomplish that.  I think its very cool but not nearly practical enough for its price to be worth it to me.

Neither of your points negate the awesomeness of the concept. Hopefully future iterations will be of reasonable quality.

I'm not sure how Bluetooth gloves that can function as neither a Bluetooth nor a glove can be thought of as awesome. To each his own, I guess.

If it's warm and waterproof, it's a glove. If it allows you to answer calls and talk, it's a BT. If it does both in one, it's awesome!

What's the problem? What makes the two inherently mutually exclusive?

Issue is, it doesn't work with both hands. You'll get a sore elbow.
