With winter approaching and our addiction to texting, twittering, or yammering from our iPhones, wouldn't it be nice if you could stay connected without taking off your gloves?

Josh Rubin realized last winter that the only way to answer his iPhone while outside in the cold was to use his nose. What a great idea it would be if only there were gloves that gave you access to your index finger and thumb for complete control of the iPhone.

Freehands does just that and it got me thinking of what a tribe was.(Granted I haven't read Seth Godin‘s new book yet, so this is my idea, pre-reading.) Out of the 305 million plus Americans, roughly 4 million have iPhones. And as dedicated as most Mac users are, wouldn't it make sense to create a product that caters directly to them?

Cheers Freehands, I commend you on finding the perfect tribe of consumers and making a viable product.
