Huge 42-inch Samsung Nexus S, definitely not pocketable

It's unclear if the Samsung Nexus S will be a huge seller, but this particular version of it is definitely a huge device. It's a 42-inch version of the stock Android-powered "Google phone," with a multitouch screen, no less. The device passes all the processing to a real Samsung Nexus S.

More trivia:

The meaning of the term has changed over time too. I remember "flat screen" CRT monitors and worked at a computer shop which sold them. They were called "flat screens" because the face of the CRT had no curvature, unlike most CRT monitors and televisions at the time. Then once LCD and plasma technology expanded from just laptop usage, the term flat screen became pretty much exclusively associated with them.
