Sharp to introduce a new e-reader soon, next generation to sport 3D?

Sharp plans to launch their new e-reader in the fall in Japan, and in US by the end of 2010. It will probably have a color LCD, and "the potential for 3D down the line". In fact, Sharp's President Mikio Katayama claims to have witnessed great enthusiasm for 3D -- particularly when it comes to games -- and posits it as a likely future direction for this new ebook reader. Here's a 10.8" prototype they shown us a month ago:

Sharp are already making small (3.4") glasses-free 3D displays, are working on a mobile phone with a 3D display, 3D camera modules, and 3D TVs. So it's not surprising that they're also thinking of using 3D in their tablet/e-readers.
