Yes, it does some different funky stuff with the stylus, but I'm talking
about just plain touching, it will start tracking your finger at about
1.5-2.5mm height above the screen. My point is, it's a VERY sensitive
capacitive touch screen so it should see touches fine, even with gloves
on. Obviously I can't test that for sure since I most likely don't own
your brand of gloves. Mine are at my storage in the car anyway, so I
can't try them, but I will as soon as I get over there.
