Neowin spotted a rumor that Apple's next iPod touch may pack a glasses-free 3D display:
Citing an unnamed source at a company that reportedly supplies LCD screens to Apple, Kanteidan Blog claimed small-scale production of 3D LCD screens similar to this one from Sharp is ready to begin. The purported final product would use three-dimensional head-tracking and take advantage of the accelerometer and gyroscope already found in the latest-generation iPod touch and iPhone. The actual tracking would apparently be done via a front-facing camera not unlike those already found in today's iDevices. Kanteidan Blog have even put together a brief video outlining how they believe a 3D-capable iPod touch would work.
