Dell Streak screen has rock solid Gorilla Glass

Dell
Everyone loves a good stress test, and the Dell Streak is the latest to get beat up on video and still be left standing. Engadget has a video of the Streak being stabbed several times – I stopped counting at 20 – and there wasn’t a scratch left on it.
Impressive, but this isn’t limited to the Streak. We’ve already seen the Droid endure similar tests, and that’s because both devices use CORNING’s Gorilla Glass. CORNING gave a live demo of the material used for these phones at CES, and I was surprised to sell how well it held up. Despite trying to scratch, poke, and crush it with my keys, the Glass remained unscathed. Of course, it’s not impenetrable.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
