10.Gimmicky-and expensive-new gloves allow chatterboxes to take the term‘handsfree'to a new level-by talking into them as they make a call.The gloves are known as‘Talk to the Hand'and cost£1.000a pair.
They come with a speaker unit embedded(嵌入)into the thumb and a microphone built into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget(小机件)recycling.He combines gloves with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2,which commissioned the project.
Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phone out of their pocket or handbag.
Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves-one in pink and the other in brown and yellow.They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves.If demand is high,they will then be produced on a larger scale.
O2Recycle,which backs the project,estimates that there are already 70million unused mobile handsets in the UK.The service pays those who recycle gadgets including phones,MP3 players and digital cameras.
