That's a great idea Amazon, I mean I find myself constantly using the 3d feature on my TV, so why not have it on my phone. - Said no person ever.

To go along with the large selection of wonderful tablets amazon have to offer...
Oh wait...
"Wonderful"

Is that a 3D display like the 3DS' - so young kids are barred from using it, and some folks find it painful/nausea-making after a couple of minutes?

I honestly can't see the point of this - especially as I assume that there will be an additional power drain to do the 3D - either in processing or to drive the screen.

Call me weird but personally I don't think 3D belongs in a mobile device (TV/Cinema sure) until it's done with augmented reality, I'd buy into that

'Holographic'!? I'll believe it when I see it! :-)
