I have pretty much given up on handhelds, relying on a smartphone to entertain me for those few minutes (or hours) when I am stuck in an airport, etc.
Whilst I can agree with your argument against the uptake of 3D, the uptake of HD has to be accepted as a good thing.
3D needs special considerations when filming, and knocking out every movie in 3D “just cause” is only going to result in such calamities as “Resident Evil: Afterlife”.
I know hollwood resents HD, for revealing imperfections like never before, but on the whole, HD has added to my movie going experience. With the advent of Blu-Ray, 7.1 surround and ultra large screens, the home experience has been improved beyond anything imaginable 20 years ago.
This will no doubt happen with 3D (imho) as both set and glasses drop in price.

As for gaming… a 4 hour gaming session would leave most with headaches and dizziness; surely enough to deter all but the most keen.

Who knows? Maybe if Apple turn their innovative eye towards 3D gaming, the result maybe something more usable than what we have today.
