Winter is coming and warm gloves are a must, but savvy iPhone users know that wearing gloves makes interacting with your iPhone impossible. Yes, the sleek multi-touch screen we’ve all come to love and know only responds to human touch.

So what’s a girl (or boy) to do? Well thanks to DOTS gloves, you may no longer have to choose between accessing your iPhone or keeping warm.

The glove sports metal dots, placed on the cloth covering the fingertips, that replicates “capacitive touch” technology, mimicking the electron flow of human skin and making them touchscreen sensitive.

The discrete dots are located under the thumb, pointer, and index fingers and provide a smoothe curved surface for scratch free use.

These stylish and effective gloves come in knit cloth for $15, or upgrade to ragg wool for an extra $5.

Say Where is now available on the App Store!

Say Where is the first iPhone application for voice-entry to popular websites for mapping, business search, and reviews. Instead of typing, iPhone users just speak any “place” – any address, business, or point of interest. Users choose the mobile site to launch, such as Traffic.com, Yelp, Yellow Pages, and more. Featuring new voice-entry technology and open user interface simplicity across devices, Say Where unlocks mobile content for mainstream adoption.

Here’s how Say Where works:
- Speak into your iPhone and say any place: like “524 Broadway” — “Delfina Pizzeria” — “Golden Gate Bridge” or “dog parks”.
- Then choose the website to launch!

Calling a store? Say Where – to YellowPages
Deciding on a restaurant? Say Where – to Yelp
Traffic conditions? Say Where – to Traffic.com

Back in April I wrote about the availability of fring on the iPhone

You may recall that fring is a VoIP application lets you use Skype, MSN, Google Talk, ICQ, Twitter, Yahoo!, and AIM clients to chat and instant message. Well, the good news is that fring is available now for free in the Apple App Store.

Fring team have added many new features to this version including ‘history tab’, ‘privacy settings’, ‘easy dialing from the main buddy list’ and many bug fixes.

This is a brand new, straight from the oven fring version (V1.0.1.4)

Trick. Original version doesn’t support VoIP over 3G. It was intendent due agreement with mobile operator. You can remove the restriction installed modification version of Fring

Check out these great drink coasters, based on those ubiquitous iPhone menu icons.

Created by the guys over at Brazil’s Meninos design (the same guys who make these awesome hard drives), these icon coasters are a great gift for any iPhone addict. All your favorite applications are there, from Maps to Calculator, from iPod to Settings. Ah, Settings.

Each coaster measures 85mm square (about 3.34″) and is made from sturdy MDF plywood, then wrapped with a premium vinyl decal and durable varnish to protect the design. A thin rubber layer on the bottom keeps the coasters from slipping around.

Sets of 16 coasters retail for $60 USD over at the Meninos online shop.
