The new HP touchsmart PC has a glass coated touchscreen that is extremely durable. Is the iPhone supposed to have the same type or one more like a Treo, 8125, etc...
Also supposed to have better clarity.It has a glass capacitive touch screen, unlike normal PDA's. Advantage - durable.

It’s the same polycarbonate that’s used for iPod screens, although apparently the coating has been substantially improved.
“Does the screen scratch easily?” –See above.
“Will the iPhone touch surface work if you’re wearing gloves? Be unpleasant to use the phone in the dead of winter otherwise.” –No, it responds ONLY to skin touch. I couldn’t use my fingernail, for example. And you certainly can’t use a stylus. (On the other hand, I doubt there’s ANY smartphone you can operate with gloves on.)
Well that kinda sucks. Maybe someone can make a stylus that mimics a finger and is warm like skin.
Umm, you have five of them on the end of each arm.
:hmm:
lol. I forgot to </end Sarcasm>

As far as cold weather goes, Tavo has a pair of gloves made with thermal fabric and silicon grips that will supposedly work:
I believe the name of the material you're trying to remember is: "Unobtanium" It is not only indestructible, but it knows what you want to do before you do and it has a quirky tendency to make gullible people worship it...sight unseen.What I want to hear is "The iPhone's screen doesn't suffer scratches at all because it is made of [some sort of wonder stuff]."
