While the "Help me Obi-one Kenobi" 3D displays are still a long way off (or disappeared a long, long time ago), this is an immense step forward.

Ah yes but

EmperorLinux, Inc. is the distributor. May the dark side of the force be with you.

"can anyone detail software optmized to take advantage of the 3D display technology?"

I'm gonna go with "Jack Shit", at least at the moment. I mean, this is literally the first consumer product the bring this technology to market.

Although JackShit 2.1 (the development fork) has limited support for the technology right now. You can grab a CVS snapshot from Sourceforge.

Sorry, I missed that. This is hilarious, $500 for a Linux install.

Me too! I'm always skeptical of new claims of 3D, but then I looked at the Sharp marketing materials! Did you see the way the dolphins are coming right out of the screen!!!

I love dolphins!!!! I'm going to buy one of these right now!

How exactly does Emporer Linux justify chargin $500 more for a computer without a licencsed OS?

Their Linux is lovingly hand-crafter, rolled between the thighs of Indonesian virgins and each package is sealed with a kiss from Linus Torvalds himself. And it's not "Emporer", but EMPEROR!!! EMPEROR, damn your illiterate bones. The finest of Linuxes.

This kind of "solution looking for a problem" attitude isn't welcome round these parts.
