I Hate this 3D craze. It seems as if consumers don't care but the manufacturers are pushing.

Not another sucky 3D device I don't want or need please!

All these 3D and touch shenanigans need to end. 3D was cool for about two movies, then it just got annoying to pay the extra. Plus you need those stupid glasses that run $200 a pair and a stupid expensive TV to play them at home. I don't want a 3D iPod. This crap about a touchscreen mac is getting old too. The iPod and smartphones, along with the iPad and it's android counterparts are about the only things I can think of a touchscreen being appropriate for.

Man you have no clue.. You can get 3D HDTVs under $2000 or even under $1000.. I do not know about you but I do not buy any HDTV under $1000 because they are cheap and lacking stuff...
Also 3D HDTV are here to stay and you people are going to have to deal with it.. Games, Blu-ray movies, Sat and Cable are all adding 3D... I guess you people are going to be left in the past and every one else that buying 3D will be going into the future and be on.. You keep playing and watching your old 2D when the rest of us move to 3D..
Data verification
My guess is that this is a made-up data verification question in the market research survey. It's a pretty common practice in survey research to ask about a fake product when you're asking "How familiar are you with X?" That sort of fake question allows you to more easily weed out the respondents who are just going down the line and saying "Yes, I'm very familiar."
(I've used similar things with recruiting for jobs--we asked applicants to self-rate their skills on a number of different technologies and included a couple of fakes to weed out the people who were being less-than-truthful.)

An iPod which requires glasses for 3D??
I don't think Apple will do it until 3D is available without glasses...

Do people actually buy 3D tv's?! Its an idiotic fad. I remember back in the early 90's when we used to get a pair of 3d glasses free with a bag of popcorn, and would watch a TV program in 3D on a saturday night. It was lame then, and it wont be any better now.
Very few people can actually watch a whole 3D film without feeling some form of eye strain or unnatural effect on their eyes.
I know I'll get bitched at for this, but I dont care: If you bought a TV for its 3D features, your a fool. Its a marketing gymic. Most films coming out use 3d and it adds very little extra detail, just a sense of 'boldness' to characters on display.
I'd mutch rather see the manufacturers pushing UltraHD!

Consumers aren't interested...
Consumers aren't really very interested. The industry is hoping to portray that customers are interested, in hopes to generate some interest.
Sorry industry, try giving us something we want... then maybe we'll buy your new product.

Agreed, 3D is just a marketing ploy and I hope it dies off eventually unless it becomes available without stupid, expensive, uncomfortable glasses.
Passive 3D is on its way out and the glasses can be made by anyone similar to the ones in movie theaters. Seen it at CES, Oakley currently has the glasses.
The point is, you shouldnt have to ware the glasses full stop. Especially heavy battery powered ones that cost around $100 a pair!
Its an idiotic, rushed, pathetic concept. It should have been dropped long ago. What amazes me is that people are still getting pulled into it.
Glasses are what separate the images for our brain...3D without glasses still has a long way to go and Passive 3D doesnt require powered glasses as I already said...
I'm a college student. $2000 is a lot of money. I got a very nice 32" 1080p LG standard LCD TV for $350. It's holding up extremely well to long gaming sessions, constant sportscenter, and still looks great. If it gets to where 3D is all that's sold, then fine, there's not much choice, but the current offerings in terms of movies, games and tv is pitiful and no reason to buy a more expensive tv.
It simply won't catch on at home until glasses free 3D is good enough for you to be walking through the room and see it without stopping. Right now lenticular 3D on TVs just isn't that good. Oh and there will have to be good content. Right now the computer generated 3D from a still is pathetically bad looking. Shoot it in 3D or stop trying.
Where does he say that?
What's with your belligerent attitude across the forums tonight?
I own the same one, picked up during the black friday sale in 2009.
When prices go down and I'm in the market for a new TV, I wouldn't mind having one to have it but it isn't going to influence my purchase in the least bit.
Having seen a 3DS demo in person - the craze is fully justified. Amazing device. Not sold on 3D in the living room (too wide a field) but for computer displays+cinema+handheld devices... gimme gimme gimme!
I hope the next iPod (or its successor) will have a similar display.
