(1) 3-D

(a) A year ago, 3-D television sets and personal computers (including laptops but not Apple Mac) were heralded in Consumer Electronics Show  (CES). They are commercialized now.

"Vizio just announced a 47-inch 3D-capable set for $1,999."

(b) Brian Stelter and Brad Stone, Television Begins a Push Into the 3rd Dimension. New York Times, Jan. 6, 2010.

Please see only
(i) the illustration "hOw Active shutter Technology Works," and
(ii) the last three paragraphs.

(c) Yesterday I referred to "video chats on TV via Web." It is conceivable that video chat can be combined with 3-D technology. HOwever, judging from the illustration in (b) above, I wonder 3-D web-cam will be cheap enough for consumers.

My comment: Please read Paragraph 1 only.

(3)
(a) A report touts iPod Touch.

Peter Burrows, iPod Touch's Holiday Sales Spike Likely Beat the iPhone's; While Apple's iPhone grabs headlines, the cheaper iPod touch keeps gaining devoted fans. BusinesWeek, Dec. 30, 2010.

(b) But the above report does not say if the sale spike is a a phenomenon of this past holiday of of a longer-term trend. Wall Street Journal stated sale of iPod as a whole (without differentiating various type of iPod) decreased in 2009.

My comment: Please see the illustration only.
