Hot or Not? Finger Condoms for All Your Touch Screen Needs
From the WTF files

030209_sz_phonefingers.jpg We're not sure about you, but touch screens seem to like our fingers, so we're not in the market for a finger condom, but we suppose for people with mangled digits a Phone Finger might be necessary. The company claims their latex finger gloves were developed in order to avoid smudges on touch screens. We're not sure if there are enough smudges in the world to convince us to put one of these on.

Two more whack photos after the jump...

Gross. Why? Unless you're smearing food on your iPhone, I never notice fingerprint marks on mine while using it. When you power off the screen they're visible but gone while in use. Put down your phone for a minute and enjoy your greasy burger.

Don't really see the point. However, the one annoyance with my Touch is that it does not recognize my mitten covered fingers. I would like this if it could make my mittens "Touchable". Sometime it's just too cold in MN to have exposed fingers outside.

these are called finger cots, they are used in professional kitchens to cover a bandaged finger, to prevent band aids and associated grossness from coming off when preparing food. no one likes a used band aid in their salad.

i can understand a finger cot manufacturer trying to find another market for their product, but this is just beyond wierd.
