3-D without glasses isn't going to happen, so people should just get over it. Delivering a separate image to each eye would require some kind of lenticular or otherwise directional system that would cut your resolution down ridiculously and only work from tightly limited distances and angles.
Now, I thought they had perfected some kind of screen that could change polarization fast enough to flip it between frames, so that only cheap lightweight polarized glasses were necessary. I saw one TV (JVC perhaps) at SIGGRAPH that had each horizontal line alternately polarized, so each eye got full horizontal resolution but only half vertical.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
