While we haven’t been all that wowed by current glasses-less (or even 3D tech overall) technology here at GS, there’s no doubt that a cult is growing. For now, it appears to be made up of various corporate marketing/PR departments. Though slowly but surely, consumers are jumping on board. Looking to cash in on the 3D craze that is currently sweeping through the TV industry, AT&T and LG have teamed up to release the LG Thrill. Previously named the LG Optimus, the Thrill’s claim to fame is the 4.3″ WVGA display being capable providing 3D imagery sans glasses — a first for a smartphone (in the U.S.). Besides the fancy looking glass, the Thrill will also pack a 5-megapixel stereoscopic camera and a dual-core processor humming along at 1GHz. Android 2.2 is the OS of choice. Given the “4G” nomenclature, HSPA+ support is also included. What remains to be seen, however, is if AT&T will cripple the LG Thrill “4G” phone like they did with the Atrix 4G’s ridiculously low 300Kbps upload speeds. Release is listed as “in the next few months”. Will update with official PR shots and launch date when available.
