I've been a Tablet PC user for years and years. Got my first one back in 2001. Anyway, my last one was bought in 2007 I believe. The glass on the screen was said to be automotive glass. I'm not sure if that means laminated glass like the windshield, or glass like the side windows. Regardless, it is phenomenally resistant to scratching. It is a WACOM tablet, so the use of a stylus is a must. So with all the dragging and clicking I've made on it through the past 3+ years, there isn't a scratch on it. I'm thinking the same type of glass is being utilized on the G2. Regardless of the brand name, it is nice that someone finally released a product that didn't need, dare I say REQUIRE, a screen protector to keep it from being destroyed in your purse or pocket.
