I don't believe it at all unless Apple completely reinvented it. 3D is a gimmick as it stand today and failed back in the 50's and 80's. It's not natural to watch.

Agree. 3D is the Quadaphonic sound system of the 21st Century. Headaches, dizzyness, backaches, you name it - 3D brings it on.
Why are you guys all against 3D? I think its great, BUT I think its a given that you will be able to turn off the 3D.. And if that is the case then there is no problem really
That's not Apple's way, though. Apple doesn't make incredible new interface designs that will appeal to a few and can be turned off for the rest, or even appeal to most and be turned off for the rest. Apple's way is: we made it, it's awesome, 99.9% of people love it, and if you're one of the 0.1% that doesn't, find a knock-off that'll pop up within a year.
3D, however, in my opinion as well as that of many others, sucks. I'd say at best, 3D has 80% of people liking it, but I suspect it's closer to 30~40% of people like them.
I tried the 3DS at a Game Stop and all the 3D switch seemed to do for me was blur the screen / add a shimmery haze around it. It kind of hurt my eyes and nothing seemed to be any more... 3D than before. So 3D doesn't work, end of story, next rumor. Unless Apple has found a way. But I seriously doubt they have, because it seems like Apple rarely assembles the pieces of technology in-house... they're the ones who see how to put the pieces together in a beautifully simple way that makes intuitive sense to consumers.
No, thanks. I don't wanna have to wear these stupid-looking glasses every time I need to use the iPad and look like a total dork.
Is your tv a 3D tv (most if not all need glasses) or just a regular hd tv, because if u need glasses then that is not the 3D we are talking about. Go play with a nintendo 3DS at Gamestop they have one on display to play with. There is a special type of screen that uses no glasses, also there is a regular screen in witch a camera tracks your head and the angle u are looking at the screen, then the objects in the screen will look to be "popping out" but it's just a simple eye trick and it's gimmicky.
If it doesn't at all compromise the clarity/brightness/color of a (300ppi-ish) high-res display, great. If it does, no thanks.

There using a GLASSES-LESS 3D screen that is y it is significant, the red/blue glasses will work with any screen if the image is in that format, that is y it works in any tv.
Its not for web pages but games for example or training apps. Lots of ways that this will be a good thing.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that loathed 3D. It's just too much in my personal opinion.

Nintendo you can turn the 3D off....
It's an Apple device - people will camp out and wait in line for hours for one...

Please dont!
I've amblyopia in my left eye which makes my eyes unable to focus on the same point in a distance, they're slightly off (the focal points), sufficiently so to cause me to not be able to see most of these types of screens in 3D. I do see in 3D, e.g. I saw Avatar in 3D, but even then, it's underwhelming and causes me to strain needlessly.
I am willing to bet there's a large segment of the population that is impervious to 3D screens. If they offer a 3D without a regular 2D screen, they would screw me out of buying an iPad, ever. I'm still warming up to getting one, but producing 3D or marking up the price because of 3D or building applications that are "3D" - would completely turn me off and away from ever getting an iPad or any "3D" apps on it.

Uh, isn't the world in 3D? I mean, we do see in three dimensions, correct? Is this a clever way of saying you are blind?
