      1Sony Tablets Unleashed

      1

      In a sign of how fast the industry evolves, the Sony S Tablet will launch with Android 3.1, while the Tablet P will come with Android 3.2, which sports compatibility mode to make phone apps run more smoothly on the larger tablet screens.

      2Sony Tablet S Design

      2

      Sony’s Tablet S resembles a folded book with pages.

      3Angled Design Looks Like a Ring Binder

      3

      Clearly, Sony is taking a risk with this special, ergonomic design. We’re not sure how many people will go for a tablet that’s pliable and not solid like an iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab.

      4Display Contrast

      4

      We have a pretty good idea Sony tablet fans will like this displays dark and bright contrasts, courtesy of the LED-backlit TruBlack technology.

      5Home Entertainment

      5

      Another plus is the ability to control your home’s entire entertainment system with the Sony Tablet S.

      6Access to Music

      6

      Who doesn’t love music in the cloud? It’s always available.

      7Access to Movies

      7

      Movies will also be available from the cloud this October on the Tablet S.

      8Access to Social Networks

      8

      Sony Tablet S is also solid in the gaming, e-reading and social networking markets.

      9Preloaded With Apps

      9

      Plenty of apps come preloaded on the S, including Foursquare, YouTube, Evernote and more.

      10Cameras

      10

      Dual cameras include a front-facing and a 5-megapixel back camera.

      11Docking

      11

      There is also a special charging cradle for transforming the S into a digital photo frame, a digital clock or a Chumby-like device with access to over 1,500 fun and entertaining apps. The device is sold separately, and pricing will be revealed later.

      12Specs

      12

      Here are the specifications for the Sony Tablet S, which is aimed at challenging the Apple iPad’s hegemony this fall.
