With a groundbreaking design, Sony tablets have been presented to claim that not everything was already seen in this sector (which is still in diapers, remember). As expected, the Japanese manufacturer's proposals have been simply dubbed the Sony S1 and Sony S2. They are terminals that will come out in the autumn (in principle there was talk of a launch in summer), and although we still do not know the price they will have, we have been able to know some of their benefits.
To begin with, as with the line of mobiles that it develops through the Sony Ericsson consortium, Sony bets on Android, installing the Google platform for tablets: Android 3.0 Honeycomb. They will have PlayStation certification (like the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play), so they will have access to the PlayStation Suite application, which will allow you to download and run games based on the popular family of consoles. Another point to highlight is in the design that they have chosen for each device and that we will detail.
The Sony S1 has a 9.4-inch screen, and at first glance it might look like a more or less standard tablet, if not for one detail. And it is that Sony has thought of those users who, when they have to use the virtual keyboard, need to use a cover or complement to describe an angle that makes writing more comfortable.
Thus, the design of the Sony S1 already contemplates that angle of inclination, so that although it gains in thickness in the highest area, it exempts the user from having to resort to accessories when using the terminal to write on a table or on the lap when be sitting on the couch.
For its part, the Sony S2 stands out because it does not have one, but two screens. Each one has a diagonal of 5.5 inches, and has the peculiarity that it can be folded as if it were a clamshell terminal. Thanks to this, we could store it in an inside pocket of a jacket (as demonstrated during the presentation) or transport it without taking up much space, resembling a case when we have it closed.
The two devices will have a combo full connectivity (3G, Wi-Fi, DLNA, Bluetooth) as well as full integration with the services of Sony (as Qriocity) to access the catalogs of music and video that the company already offers for your PlayStation and Vaio devices.
