3D TV

Sometime around the middle of this year, we expect to see the first 3D TVs hit the market along with 3D Blu-ray players. Will 3D sets be a hit or bomb? That's unclear, but we can't wait to review one.

This is one of those gadgets that everyone was talking about at CES. This quadricopter has a built-in camera and Wi-Fi for video streaming, plus you can fly it using your iPhone or iPod Touch. No word on exactly when it will be available or how much it will cost, but it's supposed to arrive this year.

In addition, Samsung will work with content partners so you can download full-length movies, TV shows, and even books and magazines. The Samsung Galaxy S is expected to be available in the U.S. this summer and, rumor has it, all carriers will get it.

Nintendo sees the future in its 3DS

by Don Reisinger, cnet.com

The Nintendo DS family of game devices will soon have a successor, and its name is the 3DS.

According to Nintendo's Tuesday announcement, the 3DS will boast 3D gaming capability without requiring users to wear "any special glasses" to play titles.

The company said that the 3DS will "succeed [the] 'Nintendo DS series.'" Perhaps most importantly, the 3DS will boast backward compatibility, allowing users to play games originally built for the Nintendo DS or DSi.

Nintendo's decision to offer a 3D gaming device will be controversial. Although the industry is seemingly doubling down on 3D technology, some are skeptical of its true appeal. And whether gamers will want to consistently view 3D games is decidedly up for debate.

Then again, Nintendo has spent the last few years taking routes that were initially scoffed at. When it first announced the Wii game console, critics were doubtful about its broader market appeal. Nearly four years later, the Wii is the world's most popular video game console.

Nintendo said that it plans to launch the 3DS during its next fiscal year, which runs April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011.
