Sony’s S1 Android tablet launching as Tablet S in September

The Tablet S is sure to add another feather to Sony’s cap. At first glance, it looks like just another tablet, but a closer inspection reveals its unique wedge like design. According to Sony, this shape is ideal for holding and using the tablet for long periods of time. In fact, it looks like a folded back magazine!



The shape is certainly not the only thing that sets the Tablet S apart. It has a 9.4’’ touch screen with a resolution of 1280x768. It is preloaded with Android 3.1 and can be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich whenever desired. It is equipped with dual cameras, the one at the back being 5MP and the one in the front being 3MP.

It comes with the TruBlack screen technology that promises better colours and fewer glares. The tablet can connect to the internet through Wi-Fi and cellular networks.

The tablet can be used to control other devices in the home via the integrated Infra Red blaster. It can also stream media to DLNA-compatible devices like PCs and TVs. The Tablet S comes pre-installed with all of Sony’s softwares, including PlayStation Certified gaming. Users can access Sony’s Curiosity audio, video and e-book store from the tablet too, giving them access to thousands of entertainment options.

The device can support accessories like a wireless keyboard and a USB as well, making communication and networking seamless.

Experts are comparing the Tablet S to the iPad 2 in terms of its memory, power and battery life. The buzz around its launch is certainly comparable to the buzz that accompanied the launch of the iPad 2!

Sony has not yet revealed the price its newest offering but rumours are floating around the figure of $ 599 ( Rs 30,000). If that indeed is the case, the sure-to-be-fantastic Tablet S is certainly going to be well received this September.
