    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.

    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.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    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
