I would have expected the opposite of those results. I've heard the screen is very prone to cracking.

They didn't twist it, just crushed it and subjected it to impacts. I'd like to see how it resists twisting and other forms of stress.

The ipos nanos design is not prown to screen cracking a small number of units suffered a manufacturing defect.

they ran it over with a car twice and it still ran. Good enough for me.

You guys are missing the point....

Good read.
