SPeaking of question about the Touch...

What is the screen like, as far as materials? is it glass, or hard plastic, or is it still 'soft' plastic (like the Mogul)? I always feel like the Mogul's screen would tear if I tapped on it too hard. Is there a Screen protector that comes with it? If so, what's that like? Thanks in advance.

Everything that I have been reading sounds like there are a lot of improvements to the touch from some of the problems that I have had with my mogul. So why does the touch cost less?
