Asahi Glass introduces Dragontrail for consumer electronics, puts the Gorilla on notice
Corning, your scratch-free monopoly is coming to an end. No longer will you hold us hostage with your insanely durable and cunningly marketed Gorilla Glass. Asahi Glass is getting in on the game, introducing Dragontrail -- a name that doesn't quite give us the same connotations of incredible strength but, if you watch the video, you'll see it manages many of the same tricks as Corning's offering. Poking and prodding? Pass. Huge flexes? Bring it. Whacked with a hammer? Easy. The company indicates it's been working on the product for years now and expects sales next year to surpass 30 billion yen -- that's $365 million. For glass.

I would LOVE to have my eye-wear made with that... No scratches, dropping them on the floor = no prob, fighting with your glasses on at local bars... The possibilities are endless... I'd make Clark Kent look like fisher price.
