Unboxed Sony Tablet S!

Share

Thanks to everyone for your participation! This contest is now over! Please check back for our next great giveaway!

Tablets, tablets, tablets. . . These wonderful mobile devices have made everything from reading books to viewing streaming video easy and accessible for all. Sony’s new Tablet S is a great addition to the field. Powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 super chip running Android Honeycomb 3.1, and weighing in at only 1.5lbs, you get lots of power in a lightweight design. The 9.4 inch screen, incorporating TruBlack Display technology, makes watching everything a rich, colorful experience. The screen doesn’t rotate in all directions and the lack of Gorilla Glass is puzzling, but these are minor shortcomings. Speaker placement can lead to some sound loss as they are positioned exactly where I held the unit horizontally. Tablet S possesses a unique wedge design that I found most useful while using the e-reader. This ergonomic grip works for both right and left handed users. Kudos to Sony for not forgetting the southpaws!

This is the first tablet that is Playstation-certified. It also runs emulation software so you can play select Playstation One (like the included Crash Bandicoot!) & PSP games. On-screen controls were responsive and did not interfere with gameplay. Sporting two cameras, the front facing unit is only good for video conferencing, while the 5.0 megapixel rear camera is more than sufficient for the odd photo you might need to take. Pre-loaded with some very good apps, I found the Remote Control app most useful! After a simple setup I had full control of every IR device in my entertainment unit. The Gesture Control System can take some getting used to and doesn’t feel as natural as I would have hoped. With an SD card slot for data transfer and handy MicroUSB port, Sony makes a strong entry in the world of mobile entertainment.

    I like the tablet with playstation ，which. definately is the high light of this tablet .You know there is a lot of android tablet of the same mode in market, making tablet compete in a downward spiral. That is quite for people like me who is really in need of a tablet. Ipad， epad, samsung galaxy as well as sony tablet is in my targeted product area. I do hope sony can do well in global tablet marketing just like you did in psp market.

    I have a special needs child and have seen how tablets and apps can help them communicate, learn and keep them entertained with their multimedia capabilites, games, etc. This one looks great and may not have the glamour that iPads seem to have but I bet he would really enjoy it.
    I just wish there were more developers creating useful apps for thses kids who can use all the help available.

    I believe that Sony could have done a better job in the first tablet they have just released. The spec of this tablet is a little outdated compared to the ones from other big companies such as HTC, Acer or Samsung.

    Sounds interesting, hopefully tablet will meet with better sucess than the Walkman MP3 players did.  SONY needs a 'home-run'.
