DLS goes nose-on with NoseDial for iPhone
Earlier in the week we told you about the app that aims to solve the iPhone user's winter dilemma. Do you a) take off your gloves and let you hands freeze, but be able to use your iPhone, or b) attempt to use Voice Control with the only button available? Well now with NoseDial, you have a third option: use your nose.
As your nose is normally the only thing that's left exposed with any sort of point on it, NoseDial attempts to put it to good use -- but does it work? Hit the break to see us put it to the test in our nose-on review.

Instead of wasting your money to look like a doofus, you could buy some conductive thread and sew it into your gloves.
If you're lazy you could purchase some made for that purpose.

Instead you could just demand that Apple include voice activated dialing on there phones, you know, like Android already does.

@EntrepreNerd the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 do have Voice Control that will allow voice dialling, I just haven't had much luck with it. It always ends up calling someone else than the person you want and then you're stuck talking to them because you can't hit the cancel call button fast enough. Nightmare. Have had that happen several times and then gave up trying to use it.

Thank you very much for your great review. We know about the issue with unlocking the iPhone. So we reccomend starting the app before you put on the gloves, so you don’t have trouble with that. Then you can tilt the phone in a 90 degree angle and send it straight to the NoseDial standby mode. This bypasses the tricky slider and you can re-activate your phone by a double nose-click outside. You find yourself back in the NoseDial app, ready to phone.
You can find more info about the tilt control and the standby mode in our manualhttp://nosedial.com/guide/index.html
We hope you enjoy NoseDial and wish you a great xmas and a happy new year!

or you could buy gloves that work with a smart phone and not grease up your screen
like the "urban" style glove from 180s (the company that makes ear grips)
