Corning’s Gorilla Glass technology is supposed to make screens that are resistant to scratches and other everyday damage. The upcoming LG X300 mini-laptop uses Gorilla Glass, and so does the Dell Streak 5 inch Android tablet. And the folks at Engadget just happened to have a Streak prototype, so they did the only responsible thing and tried abusing the display to see what would happen.
First thing they did was attempt to stab the screen with a normal pen. And I don’t just mean tapping. I mean stabbing with some force… repeatedly. The pen didn’t leave any scratches or cracks.
Does this mean it’s safe to run a Dell Streak over with a car? No. But it does mean that it might be safe to throw the Streak in your bag without a protective cover on occasion.

holy crap, that was pretty painful and disturbing to look at that…wow i want one!!!
[…] Another cool feature of the Dell Streak is Corning’s Gorilla Glass technology, which is provides damage resistance and improves the lifespan of portable display devices. If you want to see how tough it is check out the “Torture Test” over at Liliputing […]
