Nintendo 3DS to feature Sharp's 3D camera?

Gizmodo speculates Nintendo's upcoming 3DS handheld may feature Sharp's 720p HD 3D camera.

While Sharp's press release on the subject mentioned simply "digital cameras, mobile phones, and smartphones," we must remember that Nintendo's 3DS is rumored to be using Sharp's glasses-less parallax barrier technology in its displays. With the latest crop of DSis having dual cameras it's not entirely unfathomable that these 3D camera modules could be first seen in a certain portable gaming console—due for release sometime before April 2011.
