You know, a 10 pound laptop brings new meaning to "drag and drop".

How does this work?

Does anyone understand how this technology works? "Without special glasses" - Do you need to cross your eyes the whole time you are working on the computer?

Re:What OS does it run?

Hmm! Maybe they should click here to see how cool LindowsOS is!

I'm seriously, guys. Click the link. It doesn't just go to the Lindows site. It goes to a part of the site that will make you wonder exactly what the Lindows folks are smoking.

heh..

From the details on Sharp's website:

Includes 3 free Electronic ArtsTM games to showcase the capabilities of the RD3D! Test your cool with James Bond 007: Nightfire, hit the road with Need for SpeedTM Hot Pursuit 2 or putt for dough in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR(R) 2003. All 3 are yours when you order the new RD3D for a limited time.

Yeah, because there's a huge audience of 3D golf afficiandos with $3300 spare. (On the other hand, the integrated hybrid DVD-writer is pretty. It'd be neat if they had software for partial 3D rendering of DVD movies.

So, uh, any guesses on how many years before this technology hits the $500 price point?

as it is widely known, to launch a technology you need to make it widely support pr0n. see also: "VCR," "Internet" and so on

does this laptop comes with a full year membership..? I wasn't able to find it out from the links.. :)

Finally!

Now we don't have to listen to people complain that Apple's prices are too high.
