3-D, next big thing in TV, will be on display at CES 2010

January 04, 2010

"I don't see it happening," said Kurt Scherf, principal analyst at Dallas market research firm Parks Associates.

"I think this is a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, at least for now, to badly quote Shakespeare," Scherf said.

Harry Wang, director of health and mobile product research at Parks Associates, said it's not clear that there's actually a market for a "tweener" machine like a tablet – Microsoft has been failing with the concept for years – since many people are already juggling smart phones, laptops and netbooks.

"They cannot afford to let Apple get ahead," Wang said.
