There is a very gentle auto polish called Meguiars Mirror Glaze that's good for the finest haze scratches.
Just realize that to remove a scratch, you have to wear down the surface to be even with the bottom of the scratch ... and that's probably impractical on a ppc membrane screen. Depends on the severity.
You have to remove material to remove a scratch, or you just end up polishing the scratch.

If you do try it, expect an area that is either more dull looking, or shinier than the rest of the screen.

I'd seriously recommend learning to live with the scratches.
That is what I use on my ham radio faceplates. Every once in a while, the plastic gets scuffed. The Meguiars is excellent for hard clear plastic. For the pliable plastic of PPC/PDA screens I would be weary of. It seems that that may 'cloud' the screen as it is softer that the hard plastic like the portable radio covers etc...
