2D touch screens are so 2009!

3D Touch Interfaces to Hit Smartphones Soon? : Read more

 

[kobbra]

Ha-todays touchscreen phones can barely, but barely, hit one day full use before their battery is done; just imagine with 3D display they will manage to achieve the very impressive battery life of five...seconds

Seems to be just another variation in an attempt to generate revenue.

I disagree with kobbra and JohnnyLucky. Well..moreso JohnnyLucky. Yeah we'd need MUCH better batteries for this. But I think it could be a really cool thing for smartphones.

Yes, hit the patents early and file the lawsuits early.

So if I'm sliding my fingers on BOTH sides of the device, what do I use to actually GRIP the thing so I don't drop it?

And two-handed use is SO last century

I think we're trying to run here before we can fully walk...

... maybe it's just me, but I'd really like to have an old monochrome screen with simple calling, voice mail access, texting, and a battery capable of lasting 2 weeks.

I've never really understood the mentality in paying $200 for phone and another $50-$100+ a month for a plan.

New, smudging in 3D!

I thought Apple already patented this technology. And I'm not making a silly joke, I seriously thought I read something about them patenting it.

All this 3D crap is getting old. Please quit trying to market gimmicks. I saw a story on the news today saying 3D movies are going to cost $20 to watch from now on. 3D movies never cost more before all this hype was built up around them and now all of the sudden BAM!!!!, double the price.

 

[captaincharisma]

wow this 3D crap is spreading faster than a virus

Its not 3d as in wearing 3d glasses... Read the article before you talk shit.

2D+2D=3D

 

[jossrik]

I have a 3d touch interface all ready on my pc, it's called a keyboard...

I agree with you to a point. Its different if you have a smart phone. Internet access everywhere is something that once you experience, its hard to imagine living without it. Outside of that though, calling / texting is all you need.

Actually, I haven't charged my Nokia 5800 since Tuesday.

Also, I would rather not accidentally start an application or call an ex just because I'm holding my phone on my palm.

 

[m-manla]

C'mon. 3D on phones is a little much do you think?

 

[7amood]

I fail to see how is this 3-dimensional...
It's cool... but i won't go all the way and call it 3D...
it's 2D on the front and 2D on the back...

All the examples they gave can be done just fine on a normal touch screen.
