So the 3DS does a lot of stuff. It looks like it could also do videochat...in 3D.

In an interview with Forbes magazine, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said "Technologically speaking, a variety of different things are possible with the 3DS, for example, 3-D video chat."

Interesting. It'd make for a nice tech demo, but since this is Nintendo (and also because 3D cameras aren't exactly common), it's likely you'd only be able to use it to communicate with other 3DS owners, reducing its usefulness.

Besides, they say the camera adds ten pounds in two dimensions. The third dimension may not be worth the self-loathing.

The 3DS can do a lot, it seems. 3D, backwards compatability, online, movies, touch screen, that gyro movement stuff and accelerometer. What else could it do?
