Looks pretty cool. I remember when 3D viewing meant wearing those crazy red and blue paper glasses way back when...

Well, I suppose someone has to come out and say the whole thing.
So, they use the super-powerful, much hyped, much marketed almost as much as BLAST PROCESSING Cell Processor for 3D television.... months after Nintendo says they'll use the same technology for far less and in a device that's smaller than most books.
I admit I don't know the intricacies of this technology and how long it takes to adapt a graphics processor for 3D displays; however, the 3DS was announced in March, and lo-and-behold, so many months later, Sony pushes their own version of the same technology. I'm well aware that they're fundamentally different devices, but to me, this absolutely smacks - SMACKS, I say - of the tired me-too-ism that brought us the Playstation Move.
Bottom line, not impressed.

Impractical now, but the technology it has is a step in the right direction. Even with the cooling needed for the Cell it still shouldn't be *that* big though. Hopefully they aren't doing something stupid, like using the 90nm version of the Cell instead of the 45nm one. I wonder if you could have it crunch for Folding@home when it's off or is displaying 2d-only video (which is >99% of all video at this time).
