November 15, 2008 – 5:06 pm

Etre Touchy gloves are great Winter Gadget Wear for your iPhone or for any gadget, for that matter.

Is that touchpad a touch too small for your chubby fingertips? Would you rather it run a little less like Zune Guy and more like Usain Bolt? With the sudden surge in competition in this sector, there’s really no excuse for a poor showing — let Acer know exactly what you really wanted from the tiniest Aspire.
