Can you tell me more about fcast? I'm looking to get away from ads and app limitations on Chromecast but I need the same phone-based UX

To be fair that was also a Facebook partnership. This is less news and more product revision

Are you an insufferable pedant?

Yar har lobby at me. I do what I want cuz a pirate is free.

So what you're saying is the difference has nothing to do with tying it anyway

If by that you mean bad and ass, I agree. The 3d wasn't well supported it was pretty much just a worse version of the HTC Sensation at the time. I was always jealous of the Sensation, it was like the Nexus One's big brother

I had it, it was called the HTC Evo 3D. Used the same type of display as the 3ds. Wasn't particularly well supported but it technically worked I guess.
