What: Qosmio Glasses-Less 3D Laptop

Made By: Toshiba

What it Does: Display 2D and 3D images on your computer without the need for 3D glasses.

Price: $2,780

It’s finally here and it didn’t take very long either. Say goodbye to those bulky 3D glasses because Toshiba has created the world’s first notebook that can produce 2D and 3D images simultaneously on one screen. The 2D images have an 1,920×1,080 resolution while users can view pictures in 3D in 1,366×768 resolution. The light for each image is displayed in a way that tricks the eye’s depth perception, allowing users to see the image as 3D without actually needing the assistance of 3D glasses. Welcome to the future.

What: Kindle Library Lending

Made By: Amazon.com

What It Does: Integrates the library experience into the Kindle by allowing readers to borrow Kindle books from their local library in e-book form.

The Kindle Library Lending will allow U.S. customers to take out Kindle books from 11,000 local libraries on their tablet e-reader and read the book for a limited time. The customer then has the choice of buying the book or “returning” the book and then borrowing the next book to be read on their e-reader.
