    Looks like this cool little thing isn’t really going to make it to market, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have one. It was created by a company called Masterimage as a proof-of-concept for a 3D screen that works without glasses. As usual, you can’t really tell whether it works, but the specs are right: 800×480 screen, a nice joystick, 60GB hard drive and half a gig of RAM, running on a VIA C7-M at 1.2GHz.

    I’d imagine it’s a bit chunky and the battery life is probably around an hour or so, but still, a couple levels of Descent 3 on a stereoscopic LCD is worth any price.
