Orange Mobile Mitts make it easy to gab on the slopes
UK wireless carrier Orange wants to make sure its customers can keep racking up minutes even on the ski slopes, so they've developed a pair of prototype mittens meant to simplify the often-frustrating process of fat-fingered dialing. Orange's Mobile Mitt features a compartment in one of the gloves for storing your cell, and a quick-finger-release on the other so you don't have to take it off in order to manipulate your phone's buttons. For now, though, weekend snowboarders are going to have to stick with the old Bluetooth or wired headset option while carving it up- pros are getting the first crack at these mitts at the Orange British Ski and Snowboard Championships in Switzerland this month (because nothing cuts precious seconds off your run like chatting it up as you slalom down the hill).
