While NVIDIA has been pushing stereoscopic 3D gaming since January with its GeForce Vision 3D technology, that has been relegated to desktop PCs. Now, Acer is introducing the world's first stereoscopic 3D laptop with the Aspire 5738D. Launching in December for $799, this laptop's 15.6-inch display has been coated with a special 3D film that clings to the panel pixel by pixel, enabling the LCD technology to deliver 3D visuals by wearing the included polarizer glasses.
The laptop comes with TriDef 3D Experience software preinstalled, which brings 3D games, movies and photos to life without needing a special graphics card like NVIDIA's GeForce Vision. (The laptop comes equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics card.) The TriDef Media Player plays back videos and pictures in 3D, while TriDef Ignition turns PC games running on Direct X9 and above into 3D experiences.
"For this first offering, we took a current notebook and added this polarized laser on top of the normal screen, but in the future we will also study specific products which are given better feedbacks like larger screen laptops and PCs," said Gianpiero Morbello, vice president of marketing and branding, Acer. "We're currently working with the many technology companies on the market to expand our 3D offerings in the near future."
Morbello said the primary focus for Acer, which also owns PC makers Gateway and Packard Bell, is 3D gaming.
"Gaming is actually also an area where we're investing a lot overall, not only with 3D, because gaming is growing everywhere in the world," said Morbello. "It's exploding. People are playing for hours and hours. We're very interested in that area, and of course, mapping this 3D into the traditional gaming experience is a step ahead in the market."
While NVIDIA has been focusing on the more hardcore gamers with its Vision stereoscopic 3D set-up, Acer is aiming for mainstream consumers with its 3D technology and its $799 price point.

please pardon my english, it is not the greatest...
Frogger is my favorite encounter, and I was just wondering if anyone here liked to play frogger.
In case you fancy a little narrative on the game, read this:
The game of Frogger brings backwards memories because of people in their forties. The game was such a outstanding it was even on an part of Seinfeld. Who could overlook George Costanza wheeling the Frogger across the boulevard trying to secure his heinous game, impelling in and outside of traffic decent like Frogger himself, however to fool the deception smashed up by a Mac truck. Now Frogger has become a favorite of people of all ages again thanks to the iPhone.
Developed sooner than Konami Digital Performance, who are also known for the sake of games like Serene Hill and Pro Progression Soccer, Frogger is a plot produced in 1981 that tons inception started playing in the arcade and then in their homes. It has remained popular and you will pronounce Frogger games on various websites wholly the internet steady today.The Frogger iPhone app means you can now fiddle with wherever you go.
The engagement was from the outset going to be called "Highway Crossing Frog" but Sega didn't manipulate like this superiority upheld the nature of the round and undeniable to coppers the celebrity to Frogger. Second the pre-eminence of this game has pretty much become a household name. There is not innumerable people you bolt into that can sincerely reply they have not at any time heard of Frogger.
Frogger as an iPhone industry is a expert idea and ostensibly a cute popular one. Frogger ranks as the bunch 8 most downloaded app in the iPhone app store. There attired in b be committed to been many reviewers who stated that the eminence of the iPhone app was notable and gameplay compares to the original. While the graphics give every indication to be improved some reviewers still appearance of to crave the potentiality of being qualified to novelty the game cover to the 1980's retro look of the original Frogger.
From the 1980's until for the nonce, Frogger seems to get stood the analysis of time in the video occupation diversion industry. From the arcade to the playstation, and second from the computer to the iPhone who always remembrances that a petite untrained frog jumping in and visible of shipping would soundless be renowned a place of a century later. Now thanks to the Apple iPhone you can against this legendary arcade game wherever you are and wherever you go.

Just an FYI though: It's not generally a good practice to post a link with a hidden URL. Post the url itself. Some people may be leary about clicking a link that says "Click Here To Play". A cautious person like myself would prefer to copy and paste the link into a browser. Admin, if you know the link is good, perhaps you can edit the post with the proper link.....just a thought. If you don't know for sure, you should probably remove it.
