A friend of mine just got an iPad mini as a Christmas gift, and he just can’t stop talking about how great it is (You know who you are! :p).
Nowadays, our life is full of digital devices; gone with the keyboards, hello to more touchscreen and voice controlled panels.
When it’s cool to connect with your friends with a ‘touch’ on your phone; and having all your emails, agenda, photos and everything else stored in one place. It can be boring seeing everyone carrying or using the exact same looking device, but with millions of gadget accessories available in the market; you can really make your device stand out easily.
I think we have all seen some freaky…wait, I mean “interesting” accessories…(like the one below?)
最近有個朋友提早收到了他的聖誕禮物，是一個iPad mini。從此之後，每次見他，他都一定會說到這個mini有幾好。。。（不停。。。）
是啊，看看我們現在的生活，到處都充滿著電子、科技產品。從最初的按鍵式，到現在的觸摸屏和語音控制系統。
雖然，聯繫家人和朋友只需一“觸”就好；而備忘錄、相片、郵件等都可以統一儲藏在一個設備上，確實一切方便很多。但見到人人都手拿一樣的電話、電子本，深感有些無聊。當然，你可以選擇裝飾你的通訊設備，讓自己“鶴立雞群”。不過有時候還是不要太過分的好，不然，就有些嚇人的嫌疑。（比如下圖）
Yet, I am someone who is a bit greedy. I need the style and the functionality, hence I am putting this pair of ETRE gloves to the test!
A little about ETRE – It’s a London-based design agency (website designing) which also found its passion and talent in designing warm, functional gloves! (Click here to know more about ETRE.)
The pair I got is ETRE FIVEPOINT cashmere gloves – camel with charcoal tips, it’s cashmere and touchscreen friendly?!!! Hello?! Can things get better than this? Yes, actually it can!
Everything ETRE produces are made in Britain! And this pair of gloves are manufactured in Scotland at a family-run mill that is more than 150 years old.
I can’t explain the feeling…but as someone who is very visually empowered, I always think about the story behind a product. So when I see the gloves, I instantly think about the scenery in Scotland and how that family worked together to bring these warm little things to me.
Ok, enough of the flashback…I think you are at the edge of closing this page. LOL!
Now, lets get to business. Do the gloves really do what ETRE says they are capable of doing?! Is it possible to use touchscreens in the winter without taking off the “coat” for our hands?
Here, I have prepared the NEW iPad (4th edition), iPad mini and iPhone 5 to put the gloves to the test!
我是一個比較貪心的人，我需要所用的東西既有時尚元素、又實用。所以，這次我就將自己最新囊入，據說是可以在觸摸屏上無障礙使用的保暖手套進行一次測試。
品牌: ETRE, 來自英國倫敦。本來是一家設計公司（主要設計網站），但卻懵懵懂懂開始設計手套，並一舉成名。（想知道更多關於ETRE的，可以點擊這裡造訪它的網站。）
我的這對手套是羊絨製造的，是不是很不可思議？高級的羊絨品，除了保暖還可以有其它用途？沒錯！而且更讓我心暖的是，這個品牌所有的東西都是在英國本地製造的。這款手套就是在蘇格蘭的一家由家族經營超過150年的磨坊製作完成。
這個感覺很奇妙，看著這個手套，我會回想起蘇格蘭的風景；並幻想一家人寒冷的天氣里工作，就是為了製造一對給我的手套。
好吧，我可能幻想的太多了，你可能快有衝動不想繼續看下去了。所以，我就此打住。
現在，立刻就來測試下。這對手套是不是真的像ETRE所描述的，可以在冬天給我們的手保暖的同時也可以讓我們自由運用觸摸屏？
我準備的測試對象有：第四代iPad, iPad mini和iPhone 5。
Hmmm…sorry, wrong one…but if you wonder, the gloves work just fine grabbing food.
嗯。。不好意思，不應該是餅乾在這裡的。。不過，如果你想知道的話，戴這手套拿食物是沒有問題的。
This is what I want to write: The next few photos will show you how flexible your hands can be in these gloves.
But this is what actually happened – I got carried away with posing…with my hand…in the glove.
You must had done something silly too, yes, you know you have.
我很想就這樣寫：接下去你看到的幾張相片會清楚的體現，這手套的靈活性。
但真實情況是：我戴上手套擺pose，有點擺上癮了。。。
難道你沒有做些傻事的時候嗎？比如。。。那次。。。
I can’t really notice a difference using the touchscreen while wearing the gloves, except the fact that I was wearing a pair of gloves.
I tried drawing and typing, the gloves delivered impressive work!
But be careful, you could find devices to be a little slippery to hold on to when in these gloves.
畫畫、寫簡訊，戴著手套都完全沒有問題。唯一感覺不同的就是，我是戴著手套在做這些事情的。
不過，要小心的一點就是：滑。戴手套後，比較沒有了摩擦力，所以手中的觸摸屏產品很容易就滑走了。
This is not the end, because I don’t think photos can really show you if the gloves work or not.
There’s always the chance that I can put the gloves back on and take photos after typing or drawing without them (or maybe I am being a bit cynical here, haha~).
So……I shot a short video for you to watch.
What’s the real verdict for ETRE FIVEPOINT?! You can decide after watching…
哎，測試還沒完呢！我覺得就以相片來展示給你們看，你們可能還是會有疑問。
說不定我是沒戴手套的時候先打字，或畫畫完，接著再戴上手套拍照的呢？！（還是，只有我自己會這麼想？）
無論如何，我已經拍攝了一個短視頻，所以你們可以自己看了知道再決定。到底這個手套是不是可信呢！
