That cracked me up. I mean, who can fight that kind of clear logic?

I hope they come up with a better material than glass for the screen cover as nearly every iPhone / iPod touch I have ever seen in use has a nice big crack across the front.
That's interesting because I personally have 3 iPhones (don't ask why) and 1 iPod Touch and the only one that has had a cracked screen was the one that my dog thought was a chew toy. I manage a 'fleet' of about 20 iPhones at work and none of them have cracked.

My ipod touch screen hasn't cracked either. I'm sure some do but I haven't seen it myself.

Ahh, well results will vary. Some people are more careful with their electronics.

Saw this on a Fortune blog:
In a series of dispatches on Twitter, the founder of Mahalo and co-founder of Weblogs talks in some detail about a beta version of the tablet he claims to have had in hand — after signing one of Apple's (AAPL) famous non disclosure agreement (nda) — for a week and a half.
Putting together his brief notes, here's what he has to say:
Ok, I will take two questions about the new apple tablet which I have right here. Go ahead… My nda is basically over.
Yes, there are 2cameras: one in front and one in back (or it may be one with some double lens) so you record yourself and in front of u.
Apple Tablet has thumbpads on each side for mouse guestures, reads fingerprint for security. Up to 5 profiles by finerprint for family.
Yes, apple tablet is oled + back has solar pad for recharging, but it really doesn't work quickly. More a gimmic. Verizon+att,wifi yes!
Apple tablet's 2 cameras is sick feature for video conferencing: u shoot what's in front of you + yourself. Augmented video conferncing!

Ok, I'm going to bed (with apple tablet after reading nytimes+Vanity Fair on it!), steve jobs outdid himself, its greatest device ever!!!Apple tablet games are sick. Basically nintendo wii-level innovation. Custom farmville app is insane. Mark pincus is demoing with steve tmmr
For background: apple asked me to do press tomorrow on cnbc, cnn, etc. As a pundit they gave me tablet 10 days ago. 3people dropped it off!
apple tablet connects to other tablets over wifi for gaming. There will be LAN parties with these things, people playingFirst personshooters
The price will be 599, 699 and 799 depending on size and memory in apple tablet. Also, wireless keyboard + monitor connection for tv
Also, the apple tablet is really amazing for newspapers. Video conferencing is super stable, but nothing new.
The best part ofthe apple tablet as beta user has been the built in HDTV tuner and pvr, and the chess game.
also, Farmville for Apple tablet is a huge game changer. I know for a FACT Mark Pincus is onstage tomorrow with Jobs.
Off to bed, but I assure you I'm not joking and the specs are real….
Most of all that this is best gadget ever made and NOT overhyped. …
[You can read his tweets @Jason.]
We can vouch for none of this. Calacanis is a serious person — and a serious self-promoter. If it is true, he has violated a serious non disclosure agreement and could be in some trouble.
We'll find out soon enough. The event is scheduled to begin at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts at 10:00 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET). The press has been asked to be there by 9:00 a.m.

I saw a guy on a TV spot on the news last night showing how his app, or site, or something looked on an iPhone. His screen was cracked all to hell. It was the first time I had seen a working iPhone with a really badly cracked and crazed screen. I don't see how he used it, except as a phone, since about 30% of the screen was useless.

I would rather have glass. The plastic screens scratch too easily.
Plus, when I knocked my iPhone off the upstairs balcony, watched it hit the carpeted floor, and heard it bounce into the tiled dining area. I was sure it had broke, but it didn't have a scratch on it. And my older Touch, which I've had since right after they became available, has a perfect, scratch free screen as well.

Here's a great comment from one of blog sites:
Hoping Apple announces a new line of yard tools. Would love a touch screen weed eater. iAnnihilator.
