  1. Re:3DS screen on cell phone? by Rolman · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As someone who played quite some time with the 3DS last june, I can say that I started to despise the now obsolete 2D display on my phone. And that, without taking the 3D camera into account.

    The 3D effect is almost flawless. The "3D slider" which helps you adjust the degree of the effect, makes it perfectly usable for just about anyone.

    I think it's pretty safe to say we're going to see news of a phone with 3D display soon after the 3DS launch.
