whoa wait what? glass is not a conductor of electricity. The glass has 2 plastic films on top with electrically conductive microdots that register resistance as the two films come in contact.

Exactly... I had to read his post twice to see if I was crazy or not... Glass itself is not conductive.

yes your right glass is not a conductor ..my fault ..but they do use glass to put the layer of plastic .

I've broken 2 Touch Pro 2's with the same sort of crack. one was from a drop, but the other is a mystery. phone was a week old pulled it of my pocket (with the protective case i bought for good measure thanks to the 1st one) just two cracks from the center left to the bottomright corner.
So just as a word of warning. the phone is an incredible, but fragile tool.
