We already knew Android is huge, but this takes it to a whole new level! What you're looking at above sits in a Best Buy store in San Carlos after having been installed there last night. For the moment, it's one of a kind but Google is using the setup as a test to see how well they will do in stores.
The display is a glorious 42 inches of touchscreen Android love and functions by making use of a specially equipped Nexus S with video-out capabilities and even has a working camera. Google did the same for the initial Nexus One launch but unlike that display, this one actually functions just like a real device. Hit the break for a video showing off the display in all its glory.

Bigger is better, right? - Check out this 42-inch Nexus S
i'll take two
That size would be overkill for touch, but, make it work in landscape mode and with a wiimote and I would hang it in my living room right now.
So. What does it cost off-contract?
My local mall has one of these set up for the EVO 4G.
Is the giant machine an actual working phone with its own CPU, antenna and all, or is it a touch screen monitor that's hooked up to a remote phone that you can interact with?
Works for me! I have large, cumbersome fingers!
Did they add 4G to this one?
They found if you hug it a certain way, it drops the signal.
Guess you can forget about putting that one in the front pocket of your jeans.
is that a Nexus S in your front pocket??????
Somebody so needs to root that thing!
Take that EVO and Droid X!
Is that a 42" EVO in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Does it have Honeycomb on it? Maybe that's why it's that size.
Cause Honeycomb's big... yeah yeah yeah!
:D
I wanna see what this gets on ebay. Do. Want.
i think that's the Geico Gekko's phone. He's gonna want that back.
We need AC to post a pic of Jerry or Phil holding this up to their ear walking around at the mall.LOL!
Think about it though... with a case... it's really going to be too big to fit in your pocket.
Probably not the first guy or gal to say it, but imagine Angry Birds on this thing!!!!!
I can't be the only one who thought of 2001 when they saw this.
