Sony Tablet S

Sony Tablet S

Since the tablet business started being such a hot topic on the market after Apple released the iPad, almost every electronics company decided to show their charm with their own products, and until a couple months ago it was Sony's turn with two tablets, in this case we will make a quick review of the Sony Tablet S, released a couple of months ago and rated as one of the best options out there.

Shipping with Honeycomb Android version, the Tablet S comes with a particular shape breaking the typical flat design that every other tablet presents, in this case the design tries to imitate a book and makes the user more comfortable when reading while the tablet is standing flat down on a desk an also gives a better grip on the user's hand when holding it from the side.

The Tablet S is powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 on 1GHz dual core chipset, what makes it pretty much average among other tablets about the processor. But it gives the advantage to expand its original capacity with an SD card slot on one of it's sides limiting to a maximum card capacity of 32GB which is pretty fair for your music or pictures.

Continuing with the hardware, the tablet basically comes with Bluetooth, Wi fi and GPS connectivity, but also a 3G version is available on a higher price and of course attached to some mobile communication company's plan.

Moving on to the camera and battery life it presents a pretty much average rear and front camera, so no many comments about it but about the battery life it ends a little bit short compared to the big competition but still gives a better performance than maybe 60% of the tablets on the market.

Now talking about the software, as mentioned before, it ships with Honeycomb but of course since its Sony, it comes with a custom interface seasoned with different widgets and tricks such as shortcuts for the browser, e-mail, remote control app, and Sony Reader store and the inclusion of the PlayStation Suite which is a store exclusively for Sony Android phones and tablets, which will include games and apps delivered for the Sony-Android experience.
