Corning Announces 'Lotus XT' Substrate Glass for Brighter, Cheaper Mobile Displays

Just a reminded Corning would not have been around now if it wasn't for Steve Jobs.

Oh come on. Most houses contain some sort of corning product. Insulation, Windows, etc. I'm certain that Corning would have been just fine. Corning has a huge construction material market. Gorilla glass is a pimple compared to the rest of their business.

But ya... corning makes almost everything glass and ceramic related and has made many huge inovations in its industry over the years.

Materials science is a fasinating subject that it seems to many people take for granted. While this PR video didn't tell us to much I could watch decent videos about engineering all day long. So many small wonders.

Lotus glass? Fantastic!

I have driven a Lotus and they are fast and more importantly, they corner brilliantly. I hope the next iPhone comes with a standard transmission, as I hate sequential shift.

I liked the Esprit turbo though never could afford one. I wonder how you would corner in an iPhone johnny I've is getting rid of complications just using a manual interface

Quick, someone claim the iPhone doesn't use Gorilla Glass!

I thought it used the new monkey line. That way it could use your phone upside down.
