Many of the touch-screen devices (like the iPhone) only work when touched by a hand, as opposed to a glove or stylus. That’s because it uses a “capacitive” rather than “resistive” system in order to allow for multi-touch gestures. Don’t ask me for a clearer explanation of that, ’cause you’re not getting one.<\/p>\n

HOWEVER: There are certain industries in which a conductive glove<\/a> is a necessity.
