I tend to be pretty skeptical of plastic electronic thingys in general, but both the iPhone and iPod touch look awfully neat when I see them.

I guess my biggest fear is spending nearly $500 (for either) and then having it turn into a paperweight within a year. What do you guys think of the long-term durability of the screen in particular?
Dropped my iPhone twice in a 24 hour period, at airport and threw backpack over shoulder, phone slipped from my hand, went over my shoulder and landed glass side down flat on the concrete sidewalk, no damage.

Later out at a restaurant, went to put phone in shirt pocket, problem was the shirt had no pocket, iPhone slid down my chest, launched off my leg, bounced off the table leg and landed on the floor, again face down. No damage.
