Sharp has announced that they are bringing 3D to phones, the good news is its the no glasses variety so you wont look extremely goofy walking down the street looking at your phone, the bad news? Well do we need 3D? I’d venture to say no. I am still a little put off by the 3D experience, I went to see Avatar in 3D last year and while it was “cool” it wasn’t mind blowing or anything like that and now every other TV sold seems to be a 3D TV.
