I started my career with CNET all the way back in 2005, when the (original) Motorola Razrs were all the rage. Since then, I've written about everything from consumer electronics to internet culture for outlets like CNET, Engadget and Yahoo. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of baseball, board games, tabletop RPGs and improv comedy.

LG Optimus 3D will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2011 AndroidCommunity

As we speculated last week, LG is indeed going to unveil a 3D smartphone at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Much like the Nintendo 3DS, the LG Optimus 3D won't require glasses for 3D viewing. LG promises a "complete platform for a one-of-a-kind experience" as well as HDMI and DLNA connections for content sharing, presumably to a 3D-capable television.

Aside from that, we don't know too much about the phone. There's some speculation that it'll have a larger than 4-inch display, along with a dual-core processor and multichannel RAM. I have to say I'm not too excited about a 3D smartphone (I share Scott Webster's sentiment on the subject), but I am impressed to see LG as a pioneer in the field. Fortunately, CNET will be at Mobile World Congress, and we'll be sure to get a look at it and perhaps other 3D smartphones too. How about you, readers? Do you want a 3D smartphone?
