[citation][nom]ap3x[/nom]1: I was talking about sending 10000 volts to consumer device. Serves no purpose other than to market a product specifically designed to withstand that.2: 10,000 volts of electricity is very different than surviving a fall3: There are other manufacturers besides Corning that provide high impact resilient glass. Corning Gorilla Glass just happens to have allot of marketing behind it and has one of the better products on the market.4: The Test only demonstrates how durable this particular product is. There is always a market for ultra durable products and they are using in certain environments. Does not mean that all devices will use it. 5: If you take a look at this device it is almost completely covered in this material. Would you pick this device over a Samsung Galaxy S2 or some of the other devices out there. Looks like crap compared to the other devices.[/citation]
id pick the most durable device possible... you know what tablets looked like before ipad... i would rather have one of those shapes than what we have now.
fact is people want gorilla glass for iphone because its proven to be very shock resistant, surviving many falls that the iphone jut shatters on
this treatment causes a chemical reaction, now i don't know if you watched the video, or if what they say went completely over your head, but the treatment make it more like crematic material, and strengthens it, making it more scratch, and fall resistant
go ahead and buy your pretty product, i want something that can survive being thrown at a wall, because thats what happened to the last phone i had (little brother had a rage fit because of something stupid) and because it was a clam shell, not a single thing was broke.
