Sony's
Valued at $ 499 (16GB) and $ 599 (32GB), and lack of compatibility of data cell (at least in the U.S.), Sony Tablet S is not intended to be an economical alternative iPad. That represents an increase of the art of making tablets Android, and offers a really cool version in the design of the pads.
Sony Tablet is easy to detect in a range. Its unique wedge shape gives it a futuristic look and offers a better balance in the hand compared to the level of competition. As can be seen when placed on a table, the screen tilts forward and minimizes glare makes it more comfortable to type. The commitment is that the pill does not reach the thinness S as an iPad 2, although the S platform is as light 1.3 pounds and feels more solid slate champion Android, the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
On the sides are the power and volume buttons, speakers, a headphone jack, and a cover on to protect a connection synchronization and disk card Micro-USB SD in size. An integrated application handles files that come and go on your card. It should be noted that unlike other tablets honeycomb, SD card reader here just for the transfer of support functions and is not intended to act as a memory expansion port.
Sony also made an interesting choice to go with a 9.4-inch screen instead of the 10.1-inch panel used in almost any other pills honeycomb there. Sony also uses TruBlack line of BRAVIA TVs to make the contrast of the screen really pop. Although the screen is slightly smaller than those found in most of his cousins, honeycomb, you really do not feel the effects during use and it really helps the overall form factor near iPad size.
Suppose you receive from Google Android 3.1 completes the experience. Everything from Gmail to Google Talk (with video chat) is ready to go right out of the box. In addition to this, you will have access to unlimited video Sony. Ironically, the video selection is very limited at launch, but plans are in place to provide the video download and rental options of all the major studios. You get six months free subscription to basic service, Sony Music Unlimited (a revised version of the Sony Qriocity). Playback software is included Sony itself, as well as books from Google. And last but not least, two tablets are certified Sony PlayStation, and run the emulation software which allows them to select the game and PS One titles for PSP. The original PS One hit Crash Bandicoot comes preinstalled with a version of Pinball Heroes.
Sony has also included some interesting options to push the media content of these tablets on DLNA-compatible speakers, computers, televisions (not just Sony). You can think of it as Sony's answer to AirPlay streaming media from Apple, but more broadly compatible with third-party technology.
Also playing in the light of Sony in the platform as an entertainment device in the room of life is the inclusion of an IR Blaster and universal remote application on the platform S. After trying a demo of this feature, personally, we can say that functions of the eyes at a distance, such as hours of Vizio platform fans. Basically, Sony cannibalized its own premium HOMESHARE $ 250 universal remote and hit the same software on the platform S. The result is a remote control graphically rich that you really might want to use.
The good: The Sony Tablet S goes beyond the typical tablet experience honeycomb, offering proprietary applications, ergonomic design, the certification of PlayStation games for mobile devices, video and music streaming DLNA, and integration IR universal remote control.
The bad: It's on the pricey side, the charging adapter is proprietary, and brightness of the screen is not what it could be.
The bottom line: Sony has taken its time with the S Tablet, and it shows. Industrial design is an intelligent software, and improvements are both practical and sober .
