LG Optimus Pad arriving in Japan before the US

The LG Optimus Pad, that was announced to reach our shores on the 20^th of April, will be available in Japan first. Despite LG issuing the announcement in the US first, it looks like Japan will the ones who get to play with the Android tablet before us. The other interesting thing about the Japanese press release, as noticed by Crunch Gear, is that there is no mention of 3D at all in the press release, spec sheets or brochures. They do mention the dual 5.1 megapixel cameras, but the term 3D is not used at all. Could this mean that the Optimus Pad in Japan won’t have 3D recording or output features that are present the American counterpart (the G-Slate)? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. How important is it for you to have 3D on your mobile device?
