Thanks in advance for your answer.

Dear Scheich:
Very hard question. SO much depends on our testing. I would clearly imagine it would very likely be plastic Sipix as the 9 inch and above is prone to screen cracking if glass. We are looking at SO many avenues right now. We do not exactly LIKE making $12 margin on the devices we sell. BUT... some factories just will NOT lower the price. This is because they can sell all they make into Russia at almost any price. Astak can say "BUT this is the American market" and they say... "who needs it... too much competition and bother". Other firms are not like that an WANT a major imprint in North America.
It is all still shaking out! There is no answer YET! Thge A9 is wonderful to sell; BUT not if the cost to us makes it too high for you to buy!
