Kouziro is one large Android-powered tablet

Posted in: Today's Chili

Just how large (or small) do you think that an Android-powered tablet should be? Well, many would say that Apple’s offering in the form of the iPad hits the sweet spot at 9.7″ in size, while others figured out that there is also room for a 7″ tablet – and they’re not wrong, either. Well, I suppose there are always trailblazers out there who want to come up with something different, and here we are with the FT103 Kouziro that hails from Frontier, which is a great looking Full HD tablet at 21.5” in size – powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, of course.

It will run on a 1GHz Dual Core TI OMAP 4428 processor, coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal memory. Not only that, there are also a couple of USB 2.0 ports, a micro USB port, micro HDMI support, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, and a very basic 1.2-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, this little puppy is not exactly what you deem as portable – it tips the scales at a whopping 5 kgs!

Kouziro crafts wired-only, 21.5-inch Android 4.0 mega tablet, makes us think it’s compensating for something

Kouziro crafts wiredonly, 215inch Android 40 mega tablet

We’re wondering if Kouziro saw the ASUS Transformer AIO and developed a little Freudian envy. That would certainly help explain the company’s FT103 tablet, which at 21.5 inches is one of the biggest devices running Android 4.0 without veering into full-size TV territory. If you’re having sudden flashbacks to the Toshiba Excite 13 and dreading the thought of lugging around all 11 pounds of this slab, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Kouziro doesn’t make any pretenses surrounding portability: there’s no battery, and a kickstand keeps it upright on a desk rather than crushing your lap. The lackluster 1GHz TI OMAP 4428 processor and 8GB of storage certainly won’t do much to draw attention, though. All the same, the HDMI input and 1080p screen resolution could make it a very clever secondary display for another device, and the extra-extra-extra-large size lets it stuff in two full USB ports and Ethernet along with the usual front camera and mobile expansion. The late July release in Japan and the ¥34,800 ($437) price aren’t outlandish for what’s in the box — just brace yourself for psychoanalysis from friends and family after taking the FT103 home.
