You know, speaking of phone in pocket, where mine spends a lot of it's life, I can't answer mine by pushing the screen in my pocket, or if I'm wearing gloves. I don't know if my gesture varies or of the phone has to have contact with life, circulation, body warmth - just haven't figured that out. Another thing, my daughter-in-law has the best aim for calling me while eating or cleaning kitchen. If my fingers are the slightest damp, I can't make it answer with the two-finber double tap.

We do know of people who have used it for navigating around their Twitter app and have found it particularly useful for this. Also like you say, in a pocket etc. I know of someone who has phone in pocket, bluetooth earpiece, and does things with RIVO in his hand when out and about. I think people would be less interested in stealing that than an iPhone to.
