New 3D smartphone: Sharp Aquos SH80F
The new SH80F weights 135 gr. only, but it packs a dual 8-Mpixels camera, a 4.2 inches 3D screen (no glasses needed, parallax-barrier autostereoscopic technology), a 540x960 pixels display in 262,000 colors, a front 0.3 Mpixels camera, 2 Gb of memory, a Micro-SD card slot, a flash, HDMI video out, and Android operating system ! And 2D to 3D conversion is included...

WW II 3D Released on Blu-ray 3D
WW-II IN 3D tells the story of the war from the rise of the Nazis, their sweep across Europe, the Allied counterattack and the fall of Nazi Germany. This documentary is made of archived 3D photos and 3Dvideos. Some really stunning Ally aerial reconnaissance photographs show very clear how the Allied forces found the 3D photos helpful when planning ground assaults and invasions.
The centerpiece of WWII in 3D, though, is a newly restored (albeit incredibly short) Nazi propaganda film, never before seen by the public, shot in stereoscopic 3D in 1943. In it, German soldiers aim and fire an 88mm flak gun at enemy aircraft using a stereoscopic range finder.
