  USB socks are yesterday's tech.  The future is RFID socks.  (Sadly, the RFID socks aren't an April Fool's joke)

  Sad that the inbreeding has gotten so bad they even copy each others' jokes.

  I agree- pretty amusing.
  
  It really is pathetic that they all had the exact same concept for an april fool's prank.  All gloves.  Sit back and really ponder how the lack of originality really is oh so pathetic.

  
  Lol - you do have a point

  Oh yeah, Toshiba's marketing can be hilariously bad. In fact, I blogged about that very thing recently: http://toshibaexcitewrite.blogspot.ca/2014/01/a-critique-of-toshibas-marketing-muscle.html
  
  They put as much effort into these things as they do into their plain cardboard packaging.

  I was referring to HTC's silver mockup. Looks just like the Powerglove.

  What they don't tell you is Sammy has 1,2,3,4 and 5 fingered gloves in the product line:)

  
  With Samsung, the glove fits the hand; thieves don't like leaving fingerprints.
