Burton Wireless IPod-Controlling Gloves Cost More Than An IPod

I might never have been nearby a snowboard, but we can see how these iPhone-remote gloves from Burton could be really, ahem, handy. The Burton Mix Master Glove/Mitt doubles as a wireless coordinator for your iDevice whilst the phone itself sits safely inside a cozy, comfortable pocket.

Instead of running cables by clothes, the Mix Master communicates with the iPhone or iPod around an RF dongle that plugs in to the wharf connector. Therefore prepared, you can press buttons on the back of your palm to jump over and play/pause your music, and arrange the volume.

The gloves themselves have tanned hide palms, and are covered with a breathable, weatherproof, wicking surface so your hands stay dry.

The usually complaint might be the price. At $160, you could means to purchase an iPod Nano and put that on the back of any periodic mitten.
