3. Its future would seem to depend upon software developers embracing the 3D capabilities of its display.

If you currently have a smartphone and are dependent upon the suite of Apple or Google apps - this is not the phone for you.

If you currently are a resident of the Amazon eco-verse and can't imagine life without Prime membership - take a look. Esp. if you use a Fire Tablet and its apps, and have extensive content storage in the Amazon cloud.
Dynamic Perspective would be great on a Fire HDX and a feature I'd like to see ported over. Firefly, not so much since it needs a net connection to fully function; though some of it would be useful at home.
