Ian is right - it's purely a gimmick. Don't think it's continued adoption by makers of movies, TV, and now came consoles indicate that it's some kind of superior technology. They only keep using it because people are still stupid enough to fall for the gimmick and dish out more of their money for it. Wearing glasses or dealing with the limited view area of glassesless 3D is just not feasible for any kind of technology going forward, and I really hope people realize it soon for this craze to die out. Apple has always been smart about feasibility with their technology and about predicting future trends, and I'm confident they would never cheapen their products with something like this. Let's hope not. God I’m getting tired of this 3D craze and it’s undeserved ubiquity. Ian is right – it’s purely a gimmick.

This video doesn't really show anything other than a concept from a display manufacturer or software developer, it could be either and might have nothing to do with the panel. If you used the right color spectrum you could display 3D images right now on the iPad with some glasses. The reason nobody bothers with this is because it's pure gimmickry. 3D is way too gimmicky, I haven’t seen an example of it yet that looks nice enough for Apple to adopt the technology.
