Kehadiran Nitendo 3D, rupanya menjadi semacam kick off bagi kehadiran gadget 3D yang lain. HTC telah meluncurkan 3D EVO, smartphone berlayar sentuh 4,3 inch yang bisa menampilkan gambar 3D juga tanpa perlu kaca mata spesial. Pengguna bisa mengambil foto dan membuat video dalam 3D dengan sepasang kamera di bagian belakang.
Seperti EVO versi lama, versi 3D ini juga akan menjalankan sistem operasi Google Android dan terkoneksi dengan jaringan data cepat 4G dari Sprint Nextel, tulis CNN dalam laporannya.
LG Elektronik telah bekerja selama satu setengah tahun untuk smartphone 3D-nya, kata Yongseok Jang, wakil presiden strategi LG. 3D Optimus, produk LG itu dinamai, akan diluncurkan dengan network AT&T Mobility bernama Thrill 4G. AT&T mengatakan perangkat tersebut akan tersedia dalam bulan-bulan mendatang, namun harganya belum ditetapkan.
Pengembang-pengembang software LG menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk menyesuaikan (fine-tuning) sepasang kamera 5 megapixel agar bisa akurat menangkap media 3D, kata Jang.
"Prototipe EVO 3D kita uji di konferensi CTIA Wireless minggu ini dan menghasilkan video blur. HTC masih bekerja pada aspek itu, yang mungkin membutuhkan waktu beberapa bulan untuk sempurna," kata Trevor Van Norman, seorang direktur pemasaran Sprint.
EVO 3D akan tersedia pada musim panas ini, lanjut Norman.
Nintendo membuat perangkat permaian 3D untuk menangkis para pesaingnya melalui kemitraan dengan penerbit media untuk menawarkan lebih banyak game dan film dalam 3D.
"Anda tidak hanya butuh kemampuan, Anda butuh konten," kata Reggie Fils-Aime, kepala operasi dan presiden Nintendo Amerika. "Mereka tidak akan memiliki konten game sebesar yang kita punya."
Untuk ponsel-ponselnya, LG dan HTC juga tengah melobi pengembang-pengembang game untuk membuat software 3D untuk platform smartphone Android Google. Pengguna juga akan bisa mengunduh ribuan game yang sudah tersedia untuk Android.
LG akan memasukkan beberapa paket game dengan Thrill 4G dan setidaknya memiliki 10 permainan saat perangkat itu tersedia bagi pembeli, kata Jang.
Melalui tim yang dipimpin Jang, LG juga tengah membujuk Google untuk membuat video YouTube yang diproduksi dengan kamera 3D melalui aplikasi terpisah dan memungkinkan pengguna ponsel mengunggah sendiri videonya.
"Bukan mengharap belas kasihan dari studio Hollywood untuk menyajikan konten 3D, mengapa kita tidak membantu pelanggan kami untuk membuat konten 3D mereka sendiri?" kata Jang.
Tim YouTube Google juga membantu LG memperbaiki kualitas video yang dihasilkan oleh ponselnya.
HTC EVO 3D akan memiliki sekitar setengah lusin game 3D saat diluncurkan nanti, selain film utuh "Green Hornet", kata Van Norman. Ponsel ini juga memiliki aplikasi YouTube 3D.
Lalu inikah awal dari perang 3D di dunia gadget khususnya ponsel?

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
I'm curious to find out what blog system you happen to be working with? I'm experiencing some minor security issues with my latest site and I'd like to find something more secure. Do you have any solutions?
Greetings! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading through your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Thanks a ton!
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
