is the Xoom using gorilla glass?

dave_flagg

I have not been able to get confirmation by anyone other than other users. Anyone got a link to something 'official' that says it is gorrila glass? If it is i probably won't get a screen protector as i am very careful of my electronics anyway but if not then i will get one right away. Still using the factory cover sheet so i would like to move on this soon. thanks for your replies

The first place to check would be here:

 

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=corning%2520gorilla%2520glass&utm_campaign=Branded%2520Gorilla%2520Glass#featured-products

 

I don't see the Xoom on the list so probably not, though they do say that it may not be an extensive list.  I would imagine though that it would have been broadcast here:

 

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Tablets/ci.MOTOROLA-XOOM-US-EN.alt

 

if it did and it's not in the spec list either but, this site here:

seems to think it does have it.  I saw mentioned somewhere that there may be a licensing fee associated with advertising that a product uses Gorilla Glass and that may be why it's not mentioned anywhere official but, without a call to Motorola themselves, you may not get a definitive answer.
