One thing that’s sometimes less than good about your iPhone on a cold day - that’s right, using your poor finger to touch the screen.

Well, hats off to the people of South Korea who have come up with a low-tech, widely-available alternative - a sausage (specifically a snack sausage from the CJ Corporation).

Apparently these sausages are electrostatically compatible with the iPhone's capacitive touchscreen, making them an ideal finger alternative.

Sausage sales are soaring, reports claim.

We wonder what the best vegetarian option for non- meat-eating iPhone users might be.

A battery also works -- I use an AAA battery when wearing gloves.  You can even use "dead" batteries as the iPhone needs a very low amount of capacity.

Oh, and the battery doesn't leave behind sausage juice.

据国外媒体今日报道,为了能够在寒冷的冬天自如操控iPhone,韩国人想出了用香肠充当触控笔的方法。

由于iPhone采用了电容式触摸屏,无法使用传统的触控笔来控制,必须用手指直接接触屏幕才能够实现相应的功能。但在寒冷的冬天,脱掉手套的确是一件很痛苦的事情。所以韩国人就想出了用香肠代替手指控制iPhone的办法。

由韩国食品工业集团CJ Corporation出品的一种零食香肠就可以很好地“兼容”iPhone的触摸屏,因此吸引了很多韩国iPhone用户在冬天购买这种香肠。通过这种方法,即使带着手套也可以自如操纵iPhone。或许韩国的香肠销量也会因此而大增。
