Tablets are getting bigger by the day. While we already have had a rendezvous with 7-inch and 10-inch Android tablets, Istanbul-based Ardic Technologies has put forward what it calls a 65-inch tablet.
Lets take a look at what is claimed to be the world’s biggest tablet.
Ardic has created a prototype 65-inch television, in which a 10-inch Honeycomb tablet is used to power a 65-inch LCD.
But what’s different, you might ask. You can anyway connect your standard tablet to a TV via an HDMI cable, but Ardic technologies is offering 1080p playback on a 65-inch television, making the resolution 1920 x 1080p while the most any tablet has offered till date is 1280 x 800.
Currently, the resolution offered by Ardic is one of a kind. All credit goes to them for offering a high resolution, high input and getting a remote-controlled display to offer touch input. The results are, in fact, far more impressive than one can hope.
What you get is gargantuan Honeycomb tablet, which comes with full multi-touch input and working games such as Angry Birds and Fruit Slice. Besides these, one can count on the giant screen to have access to games, PlayStation 3 style.
And the best part, it doesn’t even take much battery or RAM. The current interface runs smoothly on a Tegra 2 processor and 1 GB of RAM.
It also seems that praises are galore for Android for adapting fast to a big screen.
In fact, apart from its size, there is nothing to differentiate the Ardic tablet from tablets such as the Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom.
Although attractive, the interface is currently not ready to make a debut in the mass market. Ardic is working on a gesture-based control that will allow you to use the tablet without even touching the screen.
Ardic has come up with an idea that might be an eye-opener for brands such as Samsung, Asus and Toshiba and even Google itself. The Ardic TV-tablet might just be a glimpse into the future. Who knows we might even see a fully functional Google TV in the future.
