Agloves help Maui girl make transition to Seattle

Posted on by

What’s a Maui girl to do when she has to leave paradise for the cold and dark of Seattle?

Well, write a blog of course. At least that’s what Jenn of Jenn’s Adventures decided to do when she had to relocate to the Pacific Northwest to help during a family medical emergency.

But she didn’t like the cold. Her   boyfriend tried to help by buying her a pair of winter touchscreen gloves, but those gloves limited her to just her thumb and index finger on each hand and that wasn’t good enough.

The Jenn discovered Agloves, America’s top-rated iPhone gloves. “I didn’t realize how important every finger was until I tried Agloves,” she wrote. “Particularly when you’re trying to take a picture from your iPhone.”

Jenn wears her gloves alone and as a glove liner.

Agloves are iPhone gloves, iPad gloves, Android gloves, winter touchscreen gloves.

Jenn gives her Agloves Sport gloves a workout at Mount Baker.

She gave them a good tryout during a trip to Mount Baker for the Legendary Banked Slalom Pro Snowboardering Contest Finals.

“During the entire trek up the mountain which probably took an hour or so, I was perfectly comfortable with just my Agloves Sport,” she wrote.

New iPad with retina display debuts today

Posted on by

The new iPad is available today and is expected to break sales records.

iPad gloves for new iPad

Apple's newest iPad boasts a dazzling retina display of 264 pixels per inch.

Analysts predict that Apple will sell at least 55 million iPads by the end of 2012, bringing total iPad sales up to 100 million, Hayley Tsukayama writes in the Washington Post.

The reviews of Apple’s newest product are glowing.

Jason Snell with MacWorld writes that the retina display on the new iPad eclipses its predecessors.

“Of course, the display on previous iPads was no slouch,” he writes. “But the moment you pick up a third-generation iPad, you can tell the difference. All the slight jagginess and oddly misshappen characters we take for granted on lower-resolution displays just vanish on the retina display, and you’re left with the same sort of typographic excellence you’d expect in a printed book.”

“The new iPad doesn’t introduce anything that we haven’t seen before, either in the iPhone or in rival tablets,” New York Times reporter David Pogue notes in his review. “Apple just took its white-hot iPad and added the latest screen, battery and cellular technologies. For the same price as before, you can now get an updated iPad that’s still better-looking, better integrated and more consistently designed than any of its rivals.”

If you’re lucky enough to score a new iPad today, you can keep its screen clean, shiny and fingerprint-free by using it with a pair of Agloves.

America’s top-rated winter touchscreen gloves make perfect iPad gloves and will let you use your new iPad out in the sunshine even if the temperature is a bit chilly.

AnnMarie McIlwain, founder and CEO of CareerFuel,  highlights one of the advantages of being a woman in the tech world in a post today on the Consumer Electronics Association’s blog.

Women like Jennifer and Jean Spencer don’t have to wait in line for the ladies room at an event like January’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. That’s because almost everyone is in the men’s room.

“Jennifer and Jean are a rare find: mother and daughter, founders and owners or a technology-driven consumer products company and successful entrepreneurs whose business has largely been created through social media,” McIlwain writes. Read the rest of her post here.
