Hi-Call Bluetooth Glove: Talk to the Hand
September 11th, 2012
Do you remember the Bluetooth glove hack that we saw last year? Wasn’t that cute? A silly hack made by a person with silly hair. But no one’s actually going to pay for that right? A company called Hi-Fun begs to disagree.
This is the Hi-Call Bluetooth glove, and yes, the picture above makes no sense at all. Like the hack, the Hi-Call’s left glove has a mic on its pinkie and a speaker on its thumb. There’s also a small control panel near the glove’s wrist. Pair it with any phone that supports Bluetooth connectivity and you’ve got a gloveset. Here’s Engadget’s gloves-on with the product:
You can pre-order the Hi-Call from Hi-Fun for €49.99 (~$64 USD). Strangely enough, there are different sizes for men and women, but none for what might be their real demographic: children.

Daear Lambert,
I work for hi-Fun and I can understand you don’t like the product, but about your belief that nobody would pay for it I’d like to inform you that since today we received orders for more than 15K pair of glove and we presented the product just 3 weeks ago in Germany and last week in Italy. Televisions interviewed us, national and international newspaper are talking about us and this is going to be probably one of our best seller products of this winter.
Maybe is not the most useful gadget in the world, but looks like is not such a stupid product..
