The Sony Tablet S is the latest addition to the ever growing tablet market. It runs Android – as with most of its rivals – but gets a distinctive design to help it stand out. Is that enough in such a competitive market, however? Join us after the break...
Out of the two tablets Sony has recently launched – the Sony Tablet S1 and the Sony Tablet S2 – the S1 is the more conservative. There's no double screen, no clamshell design, just a regular single display. At 9.4 inches, it's a slightly unusual size, proving notably smaller than the 9.7-inch Apple iPad 2. The screen may be smaller, but it's also very sharp, with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels...
Unfortunately, the Sony Tablet S1 doesn't offer the build quality we were hoping for. It's an entirely plastic affair, and feels a lot cheaper in the hands than an Apple iPad 2. It also feels cheaper than other tablets, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Overall, the Sony Tablet S1 is a good tablet. The screen is a cracker, and it's a comfortable and well designed piece of kit. It's just a shame it feels so cheap – a factor that would make us think twice when there are so many other options on the mark...
