Nowadays every major manufacturer tries to jump in the 3D wagon, but the truth of the matter is that those glasses are downright annoying so the latest rumors that state Toshiba will launch three TV models, that don't need glasses for 3D content, by the end of 2011, are downright amazing, if you ask me.

I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the present day 3D technology, as the whole thing seems kind of gimmicky to me since nobody can hold those glasses on the whole time they watch TV or play a game.

So, Toshiba's announcement sounds pretty sweet as I always thought that for 3D to truly become mainstream you have to lose the glasses.

I, however, didn't though that this will happen so soon, as Gizmodo reports that Toshiba will release not one, but three glasses free 3D TVs, by this year-end.

As the technology used will be somewhat similar to that employed by Sharp in the Nintendo 3DS I have to wonder what the viewing angles are going to be as the 3DS doesn't do that good in this regard.

If the previous reports are right, then we already know that the new TVs don't support Full HD resolutions (being limited at 1280x800) but having to stand dead-on in front of the screen would certainly be a deal breaker.

Anyways, if this report is going to prove itself accurate, then we don't have that much time to wait as Toshiba will definitely present this products over at IFA if they are going to release them by 2011.

We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there.
