Actually, Ipods rely on a electro-static connection with your skin to control the click-wheel. Gloves obviously prevent this connection form occuring - hence this glove was designed to transmit the connection through the glove via a conductive material on the thumb and fore-finger (grey material in image above).
I would love to collect all the ridiculous iPod accessories or iAccessories available and destroy them for I am sick of the iCulture movement, but alas I would still enjoy seeing a toaster with an iPod dock.
