Sadly yes with all reasonable precautions taken (tested when set to sleep only).

No. I'm pretty fastidious about keeping the screen clean. And even if it was grubby, it would be a pretty stupid flaw to have a touch driven device that didn't like being touched! (Not actually an issue I'm sure since the original Touch didn't suffer from this).

When I conducted my tests I had it set to 'sleep only' for the purposes of making a direct comparison with you and others. In normal use I do have both power saving state options enabled. Just as well since a full power off after use is the only way I can get a usable battery life at present.
