Winter friendly iPhone gloves coming soon?

A recent patent filing from Apple shows that they may be working on a pair of gloves that not only protects your hand from the weather but allows you to use your touchscreen phone (I’m sure Apple hopes for this to be for your iPhone). Since touchscreen phones use the electrical impulse on your fingertips, the Apple patent describes a system that would reproduce this pulse. The gloves would contain an aperture or ring link device or cap on the fingertips that could be removed when it comes time to use your phone. When not in use, your gloves could remain weatherproof.
