Hitachi H001 with 3D display leads up KDDI au's Spring 2009 lineup

So KDDI's latest lineup of new phones features the usual array of 8.1 megapixel cameras, wide VGA displays, one-seg TV tuners, and teleporters, but one particular handset stood out: Hitachi's Wooo H001. The dual-hinge flip's claim to fame -- well, besides the bizarre color scheme -- has to be the stereoscopic IPS display that presumably uses the same parallax barrier method shown off by the carrier late last year. The phone will happily serve up 3D-ified versions of various UI elements and mobile TV content, and when you start to get woozy (or Wooozy, as it were), just flip a switch and you're back to the reassuring flatness you're used to. It'll launch in three colors in April, and naturally, you'll have to be in Japan to get it.

The asterisk is a total LOL. "People do not actually jump out of the screen (as of 2009)"

Would love if they advanced to a level that we are not forced to put on those stupid looking googles to have 3D. But i won't mind one anyway!
