Sony Launches New Tablet

Sony very recently burst into the tablet PC market, launching two new tablets PCs namely the Sony Tablet S & P which easily rival the iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy 10.1. 

The Sony Tablet S has a 9.4” touch screen display, running Android 3.2 (Honeycomb), 16/32 GB internal storage, Wi-Fi connectivity, Infrared Port, 3G capability (optional), 1GHz Dual-Core Cortex-A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, 5 MP camera with HD recoding and weighs about the same as an iPad 2. 

The Sony Tablet P is considerably smaller and looks like a Nintendo DS, it has two 5.5” touch screen displays, also running Android 3.2, 4GM internal storage, microSD slot and shares similar specifications with the Tablet S. 

So it’s basically everything you’d expect from a high-end Android tablet, so what makes this device special you ask? I’ll tell you.

The tablet S has an unusual wedge-shape so when placed on a flat surface, let’s say your desk, it sets the screen at an angle so you don’t have to constantly bend over to see the screen and type. Its clever weight distribution gives you better grip since most of the weight is at that edge, making it much more balanced and comfortable to hold and carry about. 

Both tablets are PlayStation certified which means you get out-of-the-box gaming with PlayStation classics like Crash Bandicoot, you can also download original PlayStation titles online not to mention the millions of other games and applications available on the android market. Also the Tablet S infrared emitter allows it to be used as a universal remote control, so you can turn on your Panasonic TV and Samsung home theatre as you check you inbox all at once. Kiss those days of juggling remote controls good-bye!

With all this said in this author’s opinion I’d highly recommend the Sony Tablet, especially if you’re all about the latest gear, updates and mods.
