When creative mind Josh Rubin, founder and editor of Coolhunting.com, is presented with a problem, he comes up with a perfect solution. For example, take Freehands, his clever convertible-finger gloves lined with microfleece to keep out the cold. Apparently, he created them because he got tired of using his nose to answer his iPhone in the dead of winter. Simple.”

You only pull back the forefinger and thumb tips on each hand, and use the magnets available to keep the flaps from getting in your way. Have a tricky gadget maneuver to perform, like grab a photo or answer a phone call, just pull back and your finger tips are available to you immediately.”
