I wonder if Palm will make replacement plastic screens for the 3, 5 and 7
series handhelds? I'd sure go for one. Saw an m100 today at Staples; it's
lighter than the 3xe I have (yes i know, part of that is due to reduced
size).

Surely the fact the screen is plastic makes no difference to the scratches
you get, as they would be on the digitiser, not the actual screen itself?

I have a PDA with a plastic digitizer and it scratches like crazy. I'm
willing to bet the M100 will do the same. But as long as you're using a
screen protector you should be OK.

Yes, but isn't the digitiser on most touch screens a thin plastic film? It's
the screen underneath that's glass.

That's what I thought...now I am confused :-)
