I was looking at the Maxim holiday gift guide, they always have some interesting things in there. I came across pretty inexpensive gloves ($15-$20) that you can wear that use the electrical impulses from your skin to allow you to use the devices pretty well. I have yet to try it, but they got a sounding endorsement from Maxim. And no, I don't work for them. Check out the link below.
I think it has to do more with using ur storm in the cold, i live in ny and temperatures get pretty cold in the winter, so thats what id be using it for, when im on the go and need to access e-mail and make calls
