    Some have one camera on the front for video conferencing..so you can see the person you're talking to while still being seen by the camera. The other camera is on the back for regular picture taking...so you can see what you're shooting.

    No, it has front and back cameras, and at the back has two Cameras side by side.

    That will need a 3D LCD/LED TV to display?

    Once you have the two pictures, I'm sure there are some bits of software that could merge them and create a 3D image that you would then use Red/Cyan glasses to view... i.e. the old-style 3D glasses... such as these: http://www.4shared.com/all-images/QU9Io8ud/_online.html
