Don't believe the hype. Here's the legacy of Gorilla Glass:

it's all marketing. :)

Well they better add Gorilla Glass to all new Blackberrys.

Hardness is what prevents scratches. GG flexes, which mean it will most likely scratch easier than hardened glass.

they need a drop test in a probabilistic fashion of how cell phones fall to the ground. Nobody plans to flex their cell phones like that. The PCB wouldnt be able to handle that.

I'm pretty sure there are coatings out there to resist scratches and smudges. Which is all GG needs to be a complete package. Hopefully they do have that figured out.

Now I would like to see a real life drop test done by somebody who is brave enough. Suggestions include: 1 ft, 5 ft, 10 ft, 25, ft., 50 ft, 75 ft, 100 ft. (easier, average height, 1, 2, 3, 4 story building drop test onto both grass and concrete/pavement).

It may scratch, but thats ok. I'd rather it flex and NOT BREAK. I can buy a screen protector to prevent scratches. The flex is good as will allow the phone to be dropped and not shatter the screen.

So why is this on CB frontpage? Will there be any phones or tablets featuring Gorilla Glass 2 announced soon?

what s stupid test. This was most un impressive because i dont believe that people find themselves in situations where they are directly applying force to the center of their cell phone screen what we need to see is a drop test of epic proportions.

why not invent a Gorilla glass that is elastic. they can call it "G-flex" or something. basically a glass that when put under stress, it will bend while still having the strength to not break when a device is subjected to a normal day to day fall. so pretty much do a feasibility test by dropping the device from standard heights and one from the top of a building (if say someone accidentally drops their phone from the top floor of a mall or workplace). ensuring that the test device is falling at the identical weight of the intended device. they could also line the glass with a chemical that reacts to a small electric current which at the press of a convenience key on the device the glass will mimic a protection screen. if this comes about will make the Motorola droid razr maxx the ultimate smart phone. and i would like some royalties as well. :-)
