    What do you guys think? Do you think that Apple will want the iPad 3 to be in 3D? Or the bigger question for me is... Do YOU guys WANT the iPad 3 to be in 3D? If you guys want it to be in 3D, why do you want it in 3D?

    ehh... bad idea. It really wouldn't work. ALOT of people use the iPad for non gaming purposes so I think to them it would be quite annoying.

    It probably wouldn't work anyway. Using the screen with your fingers would get in the way of the 3D effect. That's why the 3D screen on the 3DS is the top screen.

    How would 3d work considering you'll be constantly touching the screen? At least the 3ds has the top screen that isn't touched ever.

    Edit: ninja'd completely

    I think Apple's going to avoid 3D at all cost. Or at least, I hope they do..

    I don't want to use anything long term that tricks my eyes into separating the convergence and focal distances. I won't risk my eyes for the sake of something that gives very little value.

    This is an old rumour anyway.

    If it were to happen, first your fingers would get in the way and secondly, finger smudges would ruin the effect.
