Sharp Readying Tablet / E-Book Reader For Japan This Fall, US Later On; With 3D Potential

Sharp announced something that looks pretty good this morning and it's the slate you see above. It's being touted as an e-book reader - not a tablet - and they're looking "to rival the iPad." As you can see it looks like it'll be sporting a coloured LCD display and has potential for 3D support, which might drive the price up a bit. Sharp is being known lately for their Parallax 3D displays so you'll see 3D images without the need for glasses. This tablet / e-book reader is said to be hitting Japan this Fall and could actually hit the US before the end of the year.
