Samsung's 'unbreakable' display survives UL scrutiny
Phone makers have promised unbreakable phone screens for years, but they tend to involve awkward compromises like soft, scratchable surfaces. Samsung Display might just fulfill that promise, though. Underwriters Laboratories certified an "unbreakable" Samsung panel (
not yet pictured) as capable of surviving military-grade durability tests without damage. This included dropping it 26 times from a height of four feet [1.2 meters] and subjecting it to extreme temperatures. It even survived a drop test at 6 feet [1.8 meters] without any battle scars.Update: Samsung Display posted a video of its new screen [1m55s video], showing how its lightweight plastic cover compares to traditional glass. In the video it survives several strikes from a hammer with no damage to show for it.

Our UL checks for fire safety. Tests things are very fire safe. And Samsung, frankly, they've had some problems with that. Very smart to partner with our UL. And possibly they'll even make a phone that can pass the UL test. So you can hold it to your head, you can put it in your pocket, you can do many things. With ZERO fires!!!

Some people spend too much time playing with their Tweeter.
A phone that didn't have a Tweeter would be a good thing.
Infinity is clearly an even number since the next higher number is odd.

Actually, no.
