42 inch Google Nexus S on display at Best Buy in San Carlos; try fitting that in your pocket

Designed to attract the attention of the high-tech shoppers at Best Buy, Samsung and Google have designed a giant Google Nexus S with a 42 inch touch screen. This was not just a mock up with a television set for a display. Nope. This is a real life Nexus S with a working camera and a connection to the web.

The largest Google Nexus S in existence is currently at the Best Buy in San Carlos California, about 20 miles south of San Francisco. Google says that if this promotion brings in some buyers-and right now the only place you can buy the handset is at Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile-they will build more giant sized Google Nexus S devices for other Best Buy locations.

I would say that this would be kinda hard to fit in anyone's pocket. I find it funny that he couldn't really do anything on that big tv. Guess that someone like Samsung needs to come up with a big touch screen that has the responsiveness as a cell phone screen.

You gotta think, just because we're just seeing this video doesn't mean that it just got filmed yesterday. He might have filmed this back when the Nexus S launched and just not got around to editing and uploading it until recently.
