How Do You Clean Your Screen?

With the proliferation of finger driven devices, I've yet to find a satisfactory, convenient, small, portable, not dripping wet screen de-greaser.

My digits aren't any grimier than the next bloke.
My days of changing oil and answering phones at the same time are long gone.
I don't mix my BBQ with my phone calls.
Sweaty sex and glass are not even in my wildest dreams ( not glass anyhow ) so...

My iPhone spends most of it's time snuggled in the the best leather iPhone condom ever made, a Sena, yet at the end of a calm, normal day the screen can supply enough grease to skid on.

I'm sure licking the corner of my hanky wasn't what Steve had in mind when he told me to use a dampened soft cloth. Who the hell walks around with a dampened soft cloth in their pocket anyhow?

So, what do you clean your portable touch screen with while standing on the curb waiting for a cab?

I'm impressed that it's taken you this long to find the biggest design flaw in any form of touch phone ... would I be right in thinking you don't wear glasses?

I tend to clean my brick of a phone by leaving the muddy foot prints to dry and then just scraping the shit off with my finger nails

My problem is that I do wear glasses.
I somehow thought that the horticulturalist you would own a brick and use it as a back door stop ti clean your boots on.
Just imagine what the PC's will be like when they make em all Touchscreen
The kids monitor is a disgrace now and he can barely reach it!!

I'll stick with the "hanky licking" method for the Jesus phone

Funny, you just hit a niche hotspot ;-) For winter there is an alternative for keeping that touchscreen clean: www.dotsgloves.com, however for summer, why can't they come up with a fingercap in latex and a metal tip. Twist some viral marketing from the condoms industry and you're in business ;-)

Now that's a whole other project Sammy.

The better half has a Nokia ,with a keyboard, and her screen's a friggin mess all the time as well. Stuff that goes in chicks hair is not glass friendly, in fact it's worse than finger grease!!
