if this is inferred 3d from head tracking going to be really interesting how amazon deals with this for 3rd party developers. How do you implement and design a 3d mobile app and have it gracefully degrade to 2d? I think the reason we haven't seen this sooner come out of Apple is because of the design challenges, not just for the metaphors that need to be invented but because of all the necessary API/semantic work necessary to have a graceful migration to 3d. If things are not set up to make 3d a natural, universal extension of the mobile experience for all apps, for a phone with enough users that make it worthwhile to do so, it will be doomed to be a gimmick.
