Looks like Apple is really making a huge gamble on the iPhone. The Cupertino-based company just upped the ante on the iPhone by claiming its battery will provide up to eight hours of talk time. Previously, Apple said that the iPhone would only have around five hours of talk time, making this a welcome announcement to all potential owners.
Jobs also says that the iPhone will get 24 hours of audio playback time, seven hours of video playback, or six hours of Internet use. Guess that GPRS connection really drains the battery.
Also announced was that the iPhone would have a glass surface. Instead of plastic, Apple decided to give the iPhone a layer of strong glass from end to end. Dubbed as “optical-quality” glass, Apple says it will help keep the iPhone scratch-resistant. No word on shatter-resistant.
All that’s left now is to wait 11 days until it launches. Can you feel the excitement?

You can take the question mark out of the title. It's been announced on Apples site:

Will do sir Mike.
Any word on it being shatter prof?
Nothing 'bout that, but it's supposed to be more scratch resistant than plastic. Also, the battery's supposed to have 10 days of standby time.
'but it's supposed to be more scratch resistant than plastic.'
Hope they make the next ipod out of that stuff.
