> Does someone really sit on their couch, put on a massive headset, and scroll through their vacation photos?
Right now they pull open a (what was once massive) laptop and scroll through vacation photos.

Same as running inside to grab the camcorder, no?
>Would I rather work on this all day instead of a laptop?
If I got multiple monitors from a laptop on any desk then I would find that pretty compelling.
Recent phones like the 3GS have a camcorder built in and fit in a pocket.
Indeed, but its not like the scenario described has never happened. If anything, the camcorder dad was a very popular trope.

Presumably new iPhone will record 3d video.

I agree with this, plenty of us are old enough to remember our parents lugging a huge video camera around at family events. If the videos are compellingly better, this is a use case.
