Does the iPod Touch have a glass screen like the iPhone, or is it plastic like the other iPod models?

From what I am reading elsewhere it seems that Apple may have used a different screen that the iPhone because blacks are not resolving well. Looking forward to some indepth analysis of this.

Has any one noticed how apple is king of the hardware remmix?
Its interseting to note how with each new ipod genration they take style cues from an older model and mix with a new hardware feature. For example….
1G hard edged, flat face plate with physical scroll wheel and buttons. This eventually moved to touch scroll wheel with physical buttons around the circle.
Then came the hideious all touch the face had changed significantly with rounded corners.
Next model up included the scroll wheel that mashed up physical buttons with the touch wheel. Taking the best of the previous two iterations. This model kept the round edges.
After that, they kept the scroll wheel but the model included a new and more atrractive version of the original flat, hard edged face plate.
In the latest models we mash up all aluminim face plate that takes rounded cue edges from the 2g and of course uses the scroll wheel.
My point is that Apple inducstrial design is a series of improvments that keep mashing up design cues from previous editions.

StayHuman: We use sound where necessary and leave it out when we want to reduce file sizes.
Macdaddy: Yes - use the link to the unboxing and comparison photos.
