The T-Mobile G-Slate may have a jump on the (red and cyan) 3D tablet market, but we can do better, and while strolling past Toshiba’s SID 2011 setup, we may have found the slate of the future’s killer component: an 8-inch, glasses-free 3D display. Tablet sized? Yes, indeed. We couldn’t get a Toshiba representative to admit the depth perceptive display was destined for any upcoming devices, but we weretold that the screen certainly “made sense” for a tablet device. The technology seems to be designed with a smaller form factor in mind, as the firm warned that larger versions of the screen, while possible, would suffer a drop in image quality. At 8-inches however, it looks mighty fine — although you’ll still need to look on from a centered sweet-spot to catch the 3D effect, a plague it shares with its glasses-free brethren. Check out our hands-on video (sans 3D, of course).
