A graphic rich 1.2 GHZ Nvidia Tegra2 dual core processor powers this Wi-Fi tablet which runs

of the package. Built in are two cameras; a front facing 0.3 megapixel camera and a 5.0
megapixel rear camera for video conferencing and calls. This is an entertainment tablet with a
built in universal remote to control your TV, stereo, Blu ray DVD or cable box, plus it has
integrated DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance®) functionality, so that you can wirelessly
stream video, music and photos to large-screen TVs or home entertainment receivers that are part
of the network. The Sony entertainment package includes Video Unlimited where you can rent
or buy a load of hit movies and with Music Unlimited you can listen to millions of songs from
every major music label. The Crackle app allows you to view full length movies and TV series
either for free or on demand. There is also access to the Android app marketplace so you can
customise your tablet with a choice of amazing apps to suit your lifestyle.
Usability
Sony Tablet S is slim and light tablet at only o.3 inches thick and weighing just one pound. It has
been designed with a slightly off center gravity which makes it very stable and easy to hold and
it is slightly wedge shaped, so is also easy to use flat on a table. The 9.4 inch screen is deep
black, LED-backlit and has a multi-touch display which is intuitive to use and designed to be
gaming level responsive. The layer of anti-glare resin between the LCD and the glass means that
this is one of the few tablets that have good visibility in direct sunlight.
What customers say
The inclusion of the IR remote function may not seem to be that significant until you realize
what that means in practice, and this sets the Sony Tablet S apart from much of its competition.
The code technology in this IR remote function means that virtually anything with an infra red
sensor can be controlled by your tablet. Customers love the fact that you can set anything in your
house from your tablet and with the DLNA functionality you can move any media on your tablet
