Sony Tablet "Two Will" - official Sony Tablet S

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Well, what do you know, another late comer in the Tablet game.

Sony is readying the roll out of its 9.4" LCD Tablet with Android 3.0 with an ergonomically contoured design.

The screen is actually unfolding to reveal not one, but two 13,9 cm (5.5-inch) displays. Bursting with get-up-and-go for your active lifestyle, just fold it in half, slip it in your pocket and hit the road. The dual displays can be viewed as one big screen for movies and web pages or used separately.

With built-in infrared and DLNA® technologies, you can use this tablet as a universal remote to control your compatible TV and a variety of home entertainment devices, stream music to DLNA-enabled wireless speakers or even "throw" personal content like photos and videos to your TV to view on the big screen1. Adjust the volume, change channels or scan a playlist for the perfect song it's all possible and easier than ever with this new Sony Tablet.

Looking to hit Europe soon with yet to be announced price.

Sony Site has put up the official "Notify Me" for the final name of Sony Tablet S! Everything is pointing to September 2011 launch. Many sites report price of under $600

Price is being made available at IFA: €400-ish for the S and €500-ish for the P .... very competitive. Hope that the software support is up to par, I am not impressed with Android releases so far for real machines

IFA-2011 feedback: The Sony S tablet is definitively a recommend-to-buy along with the Lenovo Tablet. One can expect better support in the long run.

Earliest date is October-November. I believe that it is ready for (pre) order on some Sony sites though
