We've already seen that the Nokia Lumia 900 is a decent emergency hammer, but it seems the HTC One X makes for an even better one. I know Gorilla Glass is strong and all, but if you can watch this without cringing as he seriously pounds the thing, I'll be amazed. Read More >>

Apparently Nokia's new flagship, the Lumia 900, is as hard as nails, literally. Having tested the phone's glass and found it to be super tough, the next logical step is see how it would hold up against a couple of nails and a hammer, obviously. Read More >>
OK, that might be a bit of an overstatement – I still want my car to be made out of metal, just in case someone decides to drive into the side of me. But Corning’s second vision of a future world made of glass certainly looks awesome. Read More >>

Short answer: yes. Corning announced today that it will be debuting the next iteration of Gorilla Glass at CES next week...though as cryptically as possible.

Looks like Google's latest flagship Android phone is slightly less awesome than we thought it was -- no Corning Gorilla glass, just 'fortified glass'. Of course Samsung didn't actually speak about the glass originally, we just hoped-and-wished it was furnished in Gorilla. [Twitter via Phandroid via Android and Me via Engadget] Read More >>
