Okay I personally think this is silly- they made a 3d phone but they are wasting the 3d on UI and some video when, with the use of 2 in built webcams you could have 3d video conferencing!So KDDI's latest lineup of new phones features the usual array of 8.1 megapixel cameras, wide VGA displays, one-seg TV tuners, and teleporters, but one particular handset stood out: Hitachi's Wooo H001. The dual-hinge flip's claim to fame -- well, besides the bizarre color scheme -- has to be the stereoscopic IPS display that presumably uses the same parallax barrier method shown off by the carrier late last year. The phone will happily serve up 3D-ified versions of various UI elements and mobile TV content, and when you start to get woozy (or Wooozy, as it were), just flip a switch and you're back to the reassuring flatness you're used to. It'll launch in three colors in April, and naturally, you'll have to be in Japan to get it.

Silly gimmick indeed.

Yeah, seems like a gimmick. However any progress on the 3d front is still progress. I'm skeptical how well a parallax barrier would work on a handheld device. And yeah, 3d video conferencing would be cool.
