How often have you found yourself wishing your fingers could glide more easily across the screen of your iPhone, iPad or other smartphone? Well now you can multi-touch with ease.

A small, pocket-portable spray can of grease, similar to anti-stick spray used in kitchens, could be your ticket to a frictionless future. Just apply liberally to the front of the device. Now the CPU will have to play catch-up with you, not vice-versa!

       How often have you asked a rhetorical question, only to be disappointed when people actually answer it?

       This stuff already exists. It is secreted by my fingers.

       French fries might work. Squash a french fry on your ipod/pad and rub it around until you get an even coating. [+]

       French Fr... dammit.

       I'd suggest a silicone lubricant spray rather than vegetable oil.

       I find that I play arcade games on my Android touchphone. Normal finger grease actually slows me down. So, a liberal coating of pizza grease helps my gameplay considerably. I'll have to stop doing it when my phone is no longer under warranty though!
