I'm pretty sure you can't actually buy them, any more. I know someone who tried.
my university acquired one this past fall. Not sure if it was donated (probably) or the CS department just decided "we want one" and got it.
Right now, it just sits in a corner on the third floor of our CS building, waiting for people to come buy and play chess or whatever. It's not used much.
When walking through Building 43 on Google's campus for the Summer of Code Mentor's Summit I saw a version of this for the Nexus One. It was powered off but it looked like it responded to touch as well.
The second paragraph of the TechCrunch article states that "unlike the giant Nexus Ones that Google produced last year, which just played a looping video of the UI, this giant Nexus S actually works."
Touchscreen sensitive computer monitors are way overdue. They've had them in Kiosks forever, and I could never understand why they never tried building monitors with that functionality built right in. I want a Star Trek console already!!
Microsoft and their various 3rd party hardware vendors have been selling Windows 7 with touch screen monitors for a very long time now. Of course, no one really knows that because they're usually just sitting there at the local Fry's with no interest.
Gorilla arm. Kiosks are one thing since you just briefly interact with them.
Would be cool to play Angry Birds on that!
Great, more Android fragmentation.
HELLO!? WHAT, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I'M AT BEST BUY! WHAT? I SAID I'M AT BEST BUY! NO IT'S RUBBISH!
