Sony Tablet S - New 9

It's been five months since Sony officially unveiled its first Android tablets called "S1" and "S2" in Tokyo. Finally, the time has come to publish one of the two. The Sony Tablet S which is previously named "S1" is development its first debut in Us shop this September.

The Sony Tablet S is a 9" Android tablet with a unique invent called "folding design". It's quite interesting to talk about unique invent of a tablet Pc, remembering what happened to the Samsung Galaxy Tab when the German court upheld the Galaxy Tab 10.1 ban for Apple's patent issue. The folding invent is beyond doubt original by Sony. So that at least they don't need to worry about such an issue.

The invent which is inspired by a folded piece of paper is not only unique, but also beyond doubt makes a sense from the relax standpoint. The folding invent creates two sides: the thick and the thin. When we hold the thick side by one hand, the tablet's weight is concentrated at this side. It feels pretty comfortable. And if we put the device on a table in scenery orientation, the folding invent also provides more comfortable typing position than what "the flat design" does.

A unique and comfortable invent only is beyond doubt not enough for winning the competition in 9" tablet class. At least there are the iPad 2 and the Hp Touchpad in this class. Is the Sony Tablet S ready to compete with such both tablets?

Let's take a look at the Tablet S' specifications and features!

The Sony Tablet S comes with 9.4" (1280x800 p, 161 ppi) screen, a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera (2560x1920 p), a Vga front-facing camera, dual-core 1.2 Ghz Arm Cortex-A9 processor running Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 chipset, 1 Gb Ram, and 16 Gb/32 Gb internal memory. With these specifications, the Tablet S has great display's pixel density and higher camera in comparison to those of the iPad 2 and the Hp Touchpad.

The Tablet S runs the most recent version of Android Honeycomb with some modifications, pre-loaded Sony apps, and games. You will find Sony's Reader app for ebooks, the Reader Store, a File replacement app along with Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited, Quick View in the browser for faster loading, and the popular Psone game: Crash Bandicoot. If you want more games, you can load the other Psone and Psp titles.

The other interesting features are Dlna retain and Remote control app. You can click the "Throw" button in audio and video apps, and it will immediately scan for Dlna-compliant devices, allowing you to stream video or music from the tablet to those devices wirelessly. The Remote control app enables you to use the tablet as a universal remote. It works with any A/V hardware, not only for Sony's brand. That's pretty cool.

Seemingly it's no embellishment to say "all of Sony's innovations folded into one". And that is beyond doubt what Sony says about the Tablet S.
