Prediction Time!

I have been thinking about this and I think I may be onto something here. I think the iPad 2 will have 3d capabilities. Either via glasses or without.  Why would I think such a thing? Allow me to bring out my friend  "The Bullet"
  • Apple is already rumored to be working on a 3d iPod.
  • The rumored resolution on the new iPad is 2 times that of the original iPad. 
  • There is no content for such a high resolution.
  • 3DS
If I'm right you have to bookmark me. That's how the internet works right?

      At that resolution, it would be easy to layer on a lenticular lens surface for easy no-goggles 3D. (They've already patented a superior version of this, which a pity I thought of but didn't patent a decade ago.)

      More likely for the iPad3 though. For iPad2, I presume Apple puts "retina" display as the priority. Lenticular 3D would be the "so what's your next trick?" next trick. 3D is too hyped now; let the chaos burn out before making the "just works" version. (Memories of "virtual reality": awesome social meme which far outpaced real technology; the meme had to die and then reincarnate the link as 3D FPSs.)
