Use your gloves with your touchscreen electronics

Cool idea, except my current Sedici gloves already work with my Droid touchscreen.
Do other people have issues?

No problems with my GPS...
My Sedici gloves don't work with my Droid Razr. I've already ordered conductive thread to sew in some "tap caps" myself. Lots of articles about this procedure on the web. Basically, get some conductive yarn-type thread and sew it so it touches your finger and the outside of the glove. Maybe I'll post pics when I'm finished, but I definitely CANNOT sew so don't expect it to be tidy
Most GPS don't require capacitive touch.

I (happily) only have a dumb phone.
A similar product is available for some time now, search for glovetips.
My Steve IIs work on my iphone without issue, not sure why they do but my old gloves didn't.
Checked out the glove tips and it's not much more than conductive thread and conductive patch sewn in. 35ft of conductive thread/yarn = $2.95

Presumably their kit gives you needle kit ($1.50 at Walmart) and patch ($.50).
Good idea, but this sucker will be productized from China/eBay by the end of the year for $5.
