Today at IFA 2011, Sony confirmed the launch dates for it’s two new tablet devices, and they have their final names – the Sony Tablet S and the Sony Tablet P.
Available in the UK from mid-September 2011, “Sony Tablet” S is optimised for “rich media entertainment” on its 9.4” touchscreen display. With the powerful NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile processor inside, “Sony Tablet” S lets you enjoy the web plus your favourite content and applications on its large, high resolution screen. Weighing 598g (approx.) (Wi-Fi version), its unique asymmetric design conveys a sense of lightness for hours of comfortable use. A Wi-Fi/3G version of Tablet S will be available from November 2011.
Also available from November, “Sony Tablet” P is geared for “mobile communication entertainment”, with an innovative folding design and dual screens for maximum portability. Weighing 372g (approx.), “Sony Tablet” P features the same NIVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile processor and offers connectivity via Wi-Fi and 3G mobile networks. Dual 5.5″ touchscreen displays can be folded to achieve dimensions of just 79x180x26mm (approx.) to fit in a pocket.
Wi-Fi only models are equipped with Android™ 3.1 (to be upgradable to Android 3.2) and Wi-Fi/3G models are equipped with Android 3.2.
Both “Sony Tablet” models feature front and rear facing cameras for still and video image capture. The USB 2.0 port and SD card slot simplify direct file transfers from other devices such as PCs, digital cameras or camcorders.
