You know what this world needs? More huge Android tablets. I'm talking full-on monitor-replacements. Or small TVs. Let's throw portability out the window in favor of bigger screens. I like it. Fuhu gets that, so it just announced two new massive nabi tablets: the nabi Big Tab HD 20 and Big Tab HD 24.

Like the names suggest, these are 20 and 24-inches, respectively. Big ol' tablets that are designed with family time in mind. Both units offer the ability for two people to play at once on certain games, like chess, checkers, backgammon, tic tac toe, and a few others. These games come in addition to a "Game Room" feature that brings all sorts of fun family games to the digital screen.

Other nabi-centric stuff is also along for the ride, like "Show Time" with content from Disney, Cartoon Network, and others. Story Time is similar, but brings books to those huge displays. Similarly, Big Canvas is fun time with paint...sans mess.

Other Fuhu-branded apps are also available on the Big Tabs, including Time Controls, Wings, the Blue Morpho interface, Chore List, and a few others.

The Big Tabs both feature the Tegra 4 processor and 16GB of storage, and while the 24-inch model gets a 1080p display, the 20-incher is stuck with a paltry 1600x900 panel. They'll set you back $549 and $449 respectively, and should be available "this fall."
