The new Sony Xperia Tablet S, running Android 4.0.3, works rather well – it seemed very responsive, and the screen was very clear and bright.

One of the things Sony said about a number of their new products was there they are water resistant (not waterproof – so don’t dunk it in water to test the theory), and to prove it Sony had the Xperia Tablet S under an occasional stream of water. And it was still working afterwards!
