Best way to remove smudges off the screen?

My question's self-explanatory.
Obviously it would be best that I keep my hand clean at all times, but sometimes that proves difficult. So what's the best/safest way to remove screen smudges? Cheers.

iPhone 4G, iOS 4

A guy at a camera store showed me this trick. Take a strip of scotch tape, the frosty looking kind, and lay it across the iPhone screen... then pull the tape up. Pulls smudges, oils and dirt off the screen. Repeat as many times as needed to traverse the entire surface. Works better/ easier than anything else I have tried.

Just so you know, the oleophobic coating is going to get worn out pretty soon. Depends on your daily usage and cleaning methods, etc but the coating will be gone before you know it...
