Sony Honeycomb tablets unveiled no comments
Today Sony officially confirmed that it is working on a couple of Android 3 tablets that are expected to be released by this fall. Both models of the Sony Tablet, dubbed the S1 and S2, will feature Wi-Fi and WAN (3G/4G).
The S1 will have a 9.4-inch display and will feature an off-center of gravity to make it more comfortable to hold. The S2 will sport two 5.5-inch displays in a folding design. The individual screens of the S2 can be configured to operate together as one larger display or as two separate screens with differing functions — for example one screen could show a keyboard with the second displaying the document being worked on. No mention as to whether an ebook will be able to display a separate page on each screen.
Both tablets will feature integration with other Sony products. They can be used as remote controls for Sony Bravia AV products; connect with the Sony Reader Store to purchase and download ebooks; output content to DLNA Certified televisions and wireless speakers; play PlayStation titles via PlayStationSuite (to be launched later this year – will bring PS games to Android); and subscribe to streaming music and video on demand services through Sony’s Qriocity platform.
We will have to wait for more detailed specs and pricing. Sony has released the promotional video below for the new tablets. Don’t know about functionality yet, but aesthetically both tablets appear to be well designed.
