South Koreans Use Sausages as iPhone Stylus
Brings new meaning to "bangers and mash."
One of the annoying things about a capacitive touchscreen is that unless you're using your bare hands, you can't do anything. When the iPhone launched, some women complained that they couldn't use the device if they have long fingernails. With the advent of Android and the release of touchscreen phones from every company under the sun, resistive touch screens have become less common.
While most people prefer capacitive touch, it can make things difficult in cold weather. Fingerless gloves are pretty much your only option, unless you want to forgo gloves altogether. However, some creative south-Korean smartphone owners have come up with a better solution: sausages.
As long as you don't mind your gloves or phone smelling like hotdogs or breakfast sausages, this should work out great.

haha, what're those little condoms on them?
haha, those look more like vibrators than sausages.Complete with a lighting tip.
I'm confused-- I thought the touchscreen sensed electrical current? Or is that just the patent filed for the next generation?
P.S. that guy about to pee on the entrance door... me :3
This is just too much for my little brain.
Or you could just buy 1 of the gloves that has a little "tip" on the fingers... specifically working with the iPhone's screens.
Huh, never knew that about capacitive screens. Just tried it and no, it didn't work, but I tried a thin piece of material and that worked. I used a sunglass pouch. It worked. Apple should be held responsible for this. People are gonna be walking around with condom covered sausages or frozen hands. Bastards.

> Apple should be held responsible for this
Responsible for what? For designing a touch-screen that works exactly like it should? Designed to be touched by hand... not a sausage.
Those are actually grounded fish sausages wrapped in plastic (already cooked). It's like instant hot-dog that you can just buy and eat off the shelf. Maybe I should start selling instant hot-dogs...
Those are infact cheese sausages
The title totally sounds dirty....
In a related news, the sales of iPorn application has gone up after a man used his penis in conjunction with the app...
Those are normal size Korean condomns..
And doo remember the condoms as the Iphone can come with viruses!!!
If you can't stand to take off a glove in the cold, or can't wait to find a warmer place to utilize your smart-phone, then why not snip off the tip of the glove index finger. I wouldn't imagine a person would lose that much body heat that way or suffer frost bite. Though, with a sausage stylus you have an immediate snack at your finger tips...decisions, decisions...
a ball of conductive thread on the tip of a glove works well too.

They also make a stylus that works on that kind of screen. but you canit eat it after you are done with the phone.
i-sausage....nothin new here...move along
Soo many... wrong things... to say....
Ack...
i-sausage only available with a 2 yr agreement with ATT...I'll wait till Jimmy Dean(Sasage company) puts one out.

Or, if you can't stand the cold, why are you so desperate to use your smart phone? Is it a life threatening situation? Do you really need to use the phone at that moment?
Damn those koreans are smart. Keep their hands for getting cold, and then when the get in a nice warm place those fuckers have snack already in hand. FUCKING GENIUS I SAY!
For certain values of 'better', certainly. They can't invent a stylus that will work with capacitive touch screens? Come on.
Oh, so they have a stylus that costs a whopping $15 US. Get them while they are hot (but not as hot as a hotdog).

Want a condom covered sausage? There's an app for that.
SASUAGE TIME!
Puts a new spin on the "adult game" hide the sasuage.
stupid, you tell me that these people need to use the phone or else they will die, again very stupid
On iphone??
that's really disrespect to the sausages - using it on a crappy hyped up apple-thingy..
so if no sausages around they can just open the zipper in the pants, pull their "johnson/willy/cock" out and slap it against the touch screen, ehh?
It gives a new meaning to: No judge, I was not flashing my penis at the girl, I just tried to call home..
Right instead of girl its an iPhone.
