Is there a Microsoft mega-tablet in your future?

 
Fox News recently introduced a new set that includes what can only be described as "mega-tablets".  These are some of the largest touch enabled screens on the market running on Windows 8, making for an interesting wayfinding/interactive kiosk support.
 
These devices are the result of Microsoft's acquisition of an outfit called Perceptive Pixel back in July 2012.

Cost is bound to be an issue in the near term but as these screens become more popular we may start seeing some of these show up in high-end applications.  Think museums and trade shows.
