Eureka !! iphone gloves..

Today while doing the school run I've notice a weird knitted gloves on one of the moms. The tips of the thumb and two other fingers were knitted in a different yarn.We got chatting and she explained ,the gloves were  bought online and especially designed to touch , scroll etc your iphone whilst on your hands. I got a closer look and the yarn on those fingers tips had a shiny metallic silver thread through it. Here is a sketch (ignore the numbers)

I thought to myself what a brilliant idea, in this cold weather, when out and in need of texting, e-mails replying , facebooking etc on your ipad and iphone  , you don't want really to be messing with your gloves. I need to experiment  and not sure if its going to work but if I was to knit the fingertips with a electrically conductive metallic yarn (think Habu ) then I would create my own iphone gloves and boost my inner knitter ego!!!
