Sony's Tablets Look Mighty Fine

It has been months since we have heard anything about Sony's tablets, well news has come out regarding both the Tablet S (Left) and Tablet P (Right) , they will both be released this year.

Tablet S will come in two two different models, a 16GB or a 32GB one and will be coming out this September with a starting price of $499. Tablet P, the one that looks like a DS, will be coming out later this year in November with an unknown price at the moment.

They both will be running on Android and will both have similar hardware; and since both tablets are done by Sony, they will come included with Pinball Heroes and Crash Bandicoot with more PS1 titles being planned.

Here are the specs for the Tablet P, which might be the same for Tablet S but with a different screen resolution:

• Dual core 1GHz Tegra 2 SoC
• Twin 5.5 inch displays (1024 x 800)
• Dual 5MP and VGA cameras
• HSPA+ radio
• 3,080mAh battery
• Full sized SD card slot
• 4GB of internal memory
• Micro-USB socket
• 3.5mm headphone jack

Both tablets look really interesting, and I would absolutely love to get them. If I had to choose one though, I'd most likely go with the Tablet S, just because I fear that if I do get the Tablet P, I might break it and I want a bigger screen. I would have to wait till the price for Tablet S to drop or wait for a sale on Newegg or something.

Sony Goes Tablet

Today, Sony has announced their two planned Android 3.0 tablets codenamed S1 and S2.They both include wi-fi and 3/4G connectivity. Their release are set to be this fall, but there is no word of a price tag as of yet.

The S1 tablet will be powered by a Tegra video card making it able to play Playstaion 1 games and their mobile based games with a 9 inch screen.

S1

The S2 is a design that looks so familiar, it folds in half like a Nintendo DS and acts like one; the top screen is for play while the bottom screen is for control with both screens measuring at 5.5 inches.

S1 (left) and S2 (right)

I'm quit excited for this, as much as the Gamestop rumored tablet. I just bought myself a Viewsonic G Tablet, and depending on the price (which I'm guessing will be maybe around $500) then I might get one or the other. The S2 looks interesting design wise, but looks like it can be easy to break if one accidentally slams the tablet closed. So I'm leaning more towards the S1 with its PS1 capability.
