Sony Heats Up Android Tablet Competition



Sony S1 & S2



Sony recently launched two sets of Tablets named Sony S1 and S2. Both these use Android Operating system 3.0 Honeycomb. While Sony S1 is intended as entertainment devices, Sony S2 is intended as a tool of communication and entertainment.

Foldable Sony S2

The foldable dual screen S2 is headed towards AT&T. The price and release of the S2 are missing but Sony did promise that Android 3.0 Honeycomb powered S2 would be available for release later this year. This tablet will have both WiFi connectivity and 4G support from AT&T. However, there are a couple of new information that may be of interest. For one, Sony has implemented some new technologies on both the S1 (folding-design 10-incher) and S2 tablets. “Quick View” is a user-managed setting that helps load websites faster than your average tablet by loading pictures first and java script afterwards.

The main features which Sony is highlighting in it’s newly launched Tablets are:

• 
  9.4 Inch Tab with 1,280 x 800 pixel Resolution
• Android 3.0/Honeycomb
• The NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor
• Custom Sony-built transitions and UI elements
• Qriocity, Sony's music, games, ebooks, and videos on demand service that's recently launched in Europe
• Preloaded with Sony PS One games
• Built-in Bravia Media Remote
• PlayStation integration with full PlayStation Certification
• Front and Rear-facing cameras
• A USB-A port for USB thumb drives or media devices
• An IR port allowing you to control devices other than your Bravia TV
• Unique 'Wrap-design' to be easier to hold

Sony's first tablets won't hit store shelves until autumn, and although Sony is quite late in joining the tab party yet it aims to attain the No. 2 spot behind Apple. The Japanese electronic giant is relying on it’s distinct tablet design to shield it from the copycat criticisms other rivals have faced
