Maybe I shouldn't speak for kenjackson, but I don't think 3D was actually the feature he was hoping for, just an example of the kind of industry-changing innovation of which Apple is capable but was completely absent today.

And I say this not because I think you missed his point, but in a probably futile attempt to head off discussion about how 3D is stupid.

Yes, I'm no Steve Jobs. I have no idea if 3D is a dead fad or the next big thing (even in Android land it appears to have died pretty quickly) -- it just made for a convenient example narrative. Although I must admit I think taking out an Evo 3D, looking at it, and then tossing it away would be get a fair bit of applause. :-)
