The 3DS screen is closer to one of those lenticular "3d" things you'd see on a ruler or a bookmark as a kid. It uses two interlaced images that are fed to each eye separately. The iPad 2 screen is just a normal screen.

Basically, the iPad 2 demo only gives the illusion of being 3D when you move it, but since your head and hands are pretty much constantly moving it should look "mostly 3D" if it has enough sensitivity.

Thx, yeah I knew the ipad screen was a standard display, but having only seen ads for the new nintendo I wasn't sure what their tech was.
