According to my buddy Ron over at 3d-display-info.com, TI showed a new 3D display for mobile phones, running on an OMAP3 chipset at MWC. The display is a 120Hz LCD with an 3M film that directs the images to the left or right eye alternately (3M unveiled this technology back in November 2009). There’s no need for glasses – although movies are apparently not so good (still images are said to be great).
TI also said that the new OMAP4 chips will enable HD 3D movies (dual 720p) and output them via HDMI. Phones that will have two cameras will also be able to record 3D images, so we’re told.
Could this be the next major hardware innovation in mobile devices? What do you guys think? I think we’ll need a number of iterations before the tech becomes mature enough – but that’s just my view

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
