Fee-fi-fo-fum. ICD announced that it was working on several Android slates back in November with screen sizes of 7, 11, or up to 15.6 inches. The Vega is the name of their largest 15.6” model and we’ve actually seen this slate in photos and on video before, but it never really hit me how enormous this device was until I saw someone holding it. Luckily Slashgear has made that possible and posted a vid a few weeks back of someone using the device. Check it out:
This may very well be the largest touchscreen Android device in existence. It’s pretty cool that it can handle HD video and has the resolution to actually watch it at HD quality (720p anyway), but honestly this thing is so big that I sort of fail to see how it would be useful. It’s not pocketable, and you won’t be able to input text efficiently on it. I’m seeing ICD phasing this size out pretty quickly and sticking with their smaller devices like the ICD Ultra [Portal page].
