What is the iPad screen coated with?

I have used other tablets and they don't seem as smooth to the touch... I know they all use Gorilla Glass, but the iPad seems to be coated with something to make it smoother, and I want to see if I can apply it to my other devices.

custom, Windows XP Pro

Like what?


It includes a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating, which isn't a separate film coating as is available with after market film products that can be applied and removed and re-applied.


I don't know what the closest 3rd party product is. I don't believe Apple publishes that sort of detail, but you can do a Google or internet search as easy as I can for a 3rd party film product that includes fingerprint resistance.
