iGlove Multi iPod gloves

We've mentioned the Tavo iPod gloves before, but if you want something a little bulkier - and warmer, from the looks of them, check out the iGlove Multi from Marmot. The iGlove Multi (we're really not sure what the "multi" is supposed to mean) is a pair of fleece gloves that are "Click Wheel compatible." They claim to be warm enough to wear by themselves, but thin enough to wear as a liner under your even warmer gloves.

So what the heck makes them "Click Wheel compatible?" Glad you asked. The iGlove Multi uses the patent pending Playpoint™ technology on the thumb and forefinger tips, which apparently makes for better Click Wheel contact than your wool mittens. The rest of the glove features silicon printing for enhanced grip and durability.

I like the concept of an iPod-friendly glove, in general, but I'd rather see a glove with a warm, snuggly, waterproof iPod pocket built-in and those fancy fabric iPod controls on top. Now that would be a sweet way to hit the slopes.

PC Mag rounds up the weirdest iPod Accessories ever

Jen DeLeo over at PC Magazine has posted a Top 10 Weirdest iPod Accessories roundup. While we all know that "weird" is in the eye of the beholder, I do agree with many of her picks. The list includes such classics as the PodDress, the TuneBuckle the Power Pouch, the Tavo "Made for Click Wheel" Golves and the iPillow. Personally, I have to disagree on the TavoGloves pick as I have always longed for a pair of gloves that I don't have to remove in order to use my fingers. But how can any "Weirdest iPod Accessory" list exclude the "iCarta" iPod Toilet Paper dock!

Check out the full list at PC Mag and weigh in here with your own picks!

iPod Gloves

Just yesterday morning I was lamenting the fact that I couldn't control the dial on my iPod through my nice cashmere-lined, leather gloves which keep my mitts warm during the winter commute. Today, I log in to the Internets, and the Internets provides a solution: iPod gloves. They're ugly and much more sporty than I'd like. Not at all the stylish leather and cashmere combination to which a man like myself is accustomed, but they'd do in a pinch.

$35 isn't too expensive, but I wonder how these things would feel on my hands. Something about "Tavo's new gloves allows charge to pass through the gloves from fingers to iPod's clickwheel" doesn't sound very comfortable.
