Announced today in Tokyo not one, but two Sony® Tablets

By: | Posted: 4/25/2011 | Posted in News & Announcements, VAIO

Months of rumor, speculation and excitement about a Sony tablet were topped in Tokyo just moments ago as – not one, but two new Sony tablets were unveiled to a group of journalists at a press event. The new tablets identified, for now, by the code names S1 and S2 will be powered by the latest Android 3.0 operating system and are WiFi and WAN® (3G/4G) compatible.

Take a look at this video that gives you a closer look at the unique shapes and sizes of the new devices.

Both devices are primed for easy and portable entertainment, web browsing, access to email, viewing videos, games, books and more. The tablets will also have access to networked content via Sony’s Qriocity™ Music and Video Services as well as PlayStation® Suite and the Sony Reader™ Store. Get more info from the official press statement here.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the two new devices:


With its off-center of gravity form factor, the 9.4-inch S1 offers stability and a sense of lightness, offering comfortable use for hours.

The dual screen S2 (pictured in featured image above) comes with two 5.5-inch displays which can be used together as one large screen to browse websites and more. They can also be used for different functions as users can watch a video on one screen and input commands on the other, or check email on one screen and use the other as a soft keyboard.

Stay tuned for updates… these tablets will be available globally this fall.

    Im the one of Sony fans and so happy to heard this news.

    However, I just want to put my thoughts about this coming new tablet PC.
    In the tablet PC market, Apple and Samsung have already occupied with multi-function so, Sony should consider differentiation with them.
    In my opinion, Sony can reduce the contents for entertainment function such as game, music, electronic piano and etc. Moreover, Sony can increase information storage capacity of tablet PC, and has to launch office-version tablet PC that has basic office software such as Microsoft power point, Excel, Word or etc. by contracting with Microsoft. Because Microsoft’s office product is used the most all over the world, Sony’s tablet PC can be compatible with most documentaries.
    In this way, by selling this tablet PC, Sony can get profits gradually and receive favor of business consumers as a result.

    I hope that Sony gets back their reputation with new products.
