It's a 7.2-inch digital photo frame running Android 2.1 on an autostereoscopic (glasses-less) screen, which sports a special double-density lenticular lens to display images at full WSVGA resolution (800 x 600) whether in 2D or 3D modes."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1288251167.usr15670.jpg" /></p><p>Well, a few days back I was saying that the <a href="http://www.digitalhomethoughts.com/news/show/100900/fujifilm-finepix-real-3d-w3-reviewed-by-photographyblog.html" target="_blank">Fujifilm W3</a>&nbsp;lacked options to display 3D images beyond 3D TVs, and now Nikon (who do not have a 3D camera in their lineup) comes out with this. Can someone please tell them to get their act together if they want to see 3D take off? Oh, and the photo frame runs Android too. Nikon DSLR with Android in the future, anyone? If you want the frame, you're out of luck; it's only available in Japan, and needs a subscription to My PictureTown 3D.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
