Sony launched tablet S and tablet P

Sony has officially announced the launch of the Sony S and Sony P tablet in India. Sony P is a folding tablet.

Both tablets Sony S and Sony P have been officially announced for the Indian markets, but availability of the 3G variant of Sony S and Sony P tablets will start only from mid-January. Unique folding clamshell design of Sony P tablet makes it look highly impressive. Sony P tablet has a silver and black body. The Sony P tablet folds into a smartphone sized box and weight of the device has been kept at a mere 372 grams that makes it very handy. On the outsides the device has a metallic silver finish. The inside of the tablet has a piano black finish, which looks superb.The device opens up into a mini tablet with a 5.5 inch display but divided in two parts.

The device, when it is open, is slightly shorter than a normal 7 inch tablet but the bigger screen bands surrounding the screen provide ample space for thumbs to hold the tablet, thereby aiding usability as well.
The operating system used in the Sony tablet P is a customised version of Google Android Honeycomb 3.2.  The tablet is great for browsing and reading text but while gaming or playing video it pushes the video to one screen while putting controls on the other screen so you basically lose out on one screen. It is not an appropriate solution for most games as full screen games run on both screens and you end up cursing the black space in between.The device has a 3.5 mm audio port and is DLNA enabled for playing content saved in the tablet on a TV screen. Sound output from the stereo speakers is good but you will definitely be using earplugs more often.The price of the device, which is Rs 36,990, will not be liked by many users especially considering that the bigger Tablet S costs approximately Rs 30,000-34,000.Sony Tablet S has a wedge-shape; similar to a magazine that's been folded over.The tablet S comes in two variants - 16 GB Wi-Fi only model and 16 GB 3G + Wi-Fi model. The former is already available in the market and is priced at Rs 29,990, while the latter costs Rs 33,990 and is said to be available in the market sometime by mid January 2012.
