The Japanese Sony takes a run in this of mobile devices. While he begins to make an account of the box that he would be registering with the recently launched Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc and Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play (which are not exactly Sony, but the company resulting from the Swedish-Japanese consortium in charge of making phones), we have known who now have their eye on tablets. And it is that the chief executive of the company, Howard Stringer, would have confessed to the Bloomberg publication that the company is currently finalizing the development of a tabletthat, if nothing remedies it, will see the light at the end of summer of this year.
With the announcement, Sony becomes the umpteenth company that prepares to present battle with Apple's charismatic iPad 2, the second beat of the Cupertino in a segment that they themselves pulled out of their sleeve and that so far have only found a rival in the Samsung Galaxy Tab (in terms of sales with large figures, since other manufacturers such as Viewsonic or Archos have also opted to launch devices of this type with Android).
How could it be less, Sony also relies on the platform developed by Google thinking about tablets. Thus, Stringer admitted that the house device will equip Android 3.0 Honeycomb. In this case, the rumors about the Sony terminal are forked into two bets. Some, the most realistic, point out that the Sony tablet will equip a 9.4-inch screen. Others, the most visionary, believe that the company will bet on that concept that we saw a few weeks ago, and that under the hypothetical model " S2 " it would define a gadget tohalfway between a dual screen tablet and a case.
In any case, what seems so agrees to own and strange is that the tablet from Sony will be certified PlayStation, to equal the XPERIA Play, so that not only integrates console functions of the company, but which could also offer synchronization options with the Sony video game platform with which the user of the company's future tablet can spend them.
