Sony Tablet S Android Slate Features
Fans of Google Android platform has been very patient. It is not easy to get Android tablet space, time was limited by the number of the board gingerbread expensive and disappointing. Things began to change when it came to cell, developed the first version of Android tablets, but even then, began to feel that you've seen Android tablet, you all saw. The last time we woke up to the question: "Where innovation associated with the open source platform, and with so many producers to focus on Android, which is outside of the box thinking" It appears that for Sony, it's true.
Sony Tablet S look different than any other movie you've seen before Android. It feels different, too. Remove the template of the form factor in the service of all, Sony is uniquely positioned to simulate what it feels like a folded sheet. For more gadgets, Sony claims that this custom form factor scale, near the hand moves, makes you feel lighter and more comfortable to read e-book or Netflix Watch. In addition, tablets or slightly elevated sitting at a table with a natural angle for writing, a task that had previously been poorly reproduced on the screen, keyboard tabs.
Kudos to Sony for trying something new and different, and not let another "me too" tablet, but with a wedge-shaped design is enough to get noticed in a crowded market in Android? We will address this issue in the following pages. However, there is a $ 500 tablet that is slightly smaller than the iPhone, although significantly higher than the Amazon Kindle the fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet, a pair of low-cost board (ER), which is their way in a million homes. If not for Sony Tablet S, associated with these devices? We have tried to format it for you here.

Sony Tablet S can be seen as a magazine or a paperback book of great size, but, unlike the Kindle a fire, there is no doubt that the special glory or an electronic book reader tablet. Obviously, the last, as evidenced by the 9.4 inch screen, NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB or 32 GB of internal memory, integrated camera, as well as input and multiple expansion slots.
All this, all in a honeycomb (Android 3.2.1), but today, we hope, ice cream Sony Sandwich (Android 4.0), production in the not too distant future.
Rainbows and unicorns do not expect to dance in a cardboard box, when peeled, but a bit more than is strictly necessary in a $ 500 device would be good. We assume that a small cable qualifies as a plus, although I prefer a helmet. But also, including the power cord, documentation, and the device is in the order of things, so in this context that Sony does not include an area of advanced technology becomes part of the race.
Measures 9.4 inches in actual screen in 1280x800 (16:10) resolution, Sony Tablet S offers more pixels than the iPhone 2, with an average resolution of 1024x768 (16:9). Both tablets use LED backlighting, but the iPhone has the IPS panel for superior viewing angles. S flat surface, but the effects of the angle is not catastrophic, just a little less clear. Otherwise, the screen looks great, with bright colors and sharp images, and the size is a compromise between the 7-inch tablet and 10.1 less than the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Form factor slightly smaller has its advantages, one of them is weight. Compared with other sizes Tablet S weighs less than most of the nearly 31 pounds, which is slightly lighter than the Motorola Xoom was (1.5 pounds) Acer A500 Iconium (1, 5 lbs) Toshiba thrive (1, 6 pounds), and even iPhone 2 (£ 1.33). But remember what I said at the time? Waiting so long to enter the market as tablets, pills Sony loses in November praise slim Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1.24 pounds) and the new Eee Pad primary processing (£ 1.29) from Asus. In the grand scheme of things, we have a few hairs ounce poor, and the angular shape of the signs you get a tight control on the map of the central S, especially if you are able to rest on a table or armrest. Near the coast-S is very comfortable to hold for long without discomfort.
Structured form of plastic sheeting around the back of the platform-S, some friction for better grip. Our concern is that the only high point may lead in time, however, even if they did, it would be wrong tablet-S. To avoid this scenario to play in any case, Sony hit a pair of rubber feet on the top (landscape mode), the texture does not come to the table.
A pair of stereo speakers with clear and Technology xLoud phase along the rear parcel shelf-S, too. The sale and get a good sound strong enough to watch and listen to music, but not complete the amount of space. Most times, we come to the starting volume of 10 (do not go to 11).
Vendetta extensible storage block I, I / O ports and Adobe Flash, but most Android phones do not, and all three are in tablet S. On the one hand, a 3.5mm headphone jack surrounded by a mini-USB port and SD card slot is hidden for the complete separation of the valve. It shows their lack of HDMI output, disappointing omission on the dollar than compressed. It is also interesting to note that Sony has chosen the site of the size of an SD card slot instead of MicroSD, more common in stores.
Remains under the skin of the battery up to 8 hours of continuous playback or 7.5 hours of video, probably both on the wire and crank the brightness of the totally disabled. The battery is not removable, because you can cover the route is not without cracks in it and destroyed the guarantee.
Above, on the other hand, the power button and volume up / down, they are completely absent in the Kindle fire. We like the Sony site here, and in particular the decision to dig under the door frame where it is virtually impossible to accidentally press one of them, regardless of whether C pills if you can constantly change the buttons of the accident there is a good chance of making a mistake or tentacles instead of fingers.
Hmmm, not a closed sound fresh ice cream sandwich is better? However, instead of talking about what you get from your local Dairy Mart, we refer to Android 4.0. But before you get too excited, not in the Sony Tablet ICS S, and not vice versa (which are hoaxes). You have the latest version of Cell, Android 3.2.1, and any other advanced Android tablet. Android 4.0 will begin implementation in early 2012 devices, but Sony has remained silent when the CSI platform or landing in S.
Armed with Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core 1 GHz and 1 GB of RAM, it takes about 38 seconds to load a lock screen, and 11 seconds to a full stop. The home screen is filled with plenty of relaxation, only a few specific programs of Sony, and icons for the standard rate, such as YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps and Android Market.
Navigation five home screens, usually smooth and responsive, but not as strong as IOS on iPhone 2. Move your finger back and forth rapidly, for example, over the user interface, trying to keep pace. In many ways, this question is not, and will not be visible when the menu jumps to the next level. In normal use, the screen moves very well.
Less forgivable is the overall performance. Despite a compressed S uses a dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM, low power, or feel. I noticed a slight delay between pressing a button on the screen and hear a clicking sound, so we know which finger to touch the camera recorded, and in rare cases, a touch unnoticed. Determine the amount varies, apparently for no reason at all, and extends to the inertia of the load demand, which is slightly slower than desired. This virtual keyboard wounds, but again, sometimes worse than others, and seems to be no common denominator, which could explain why succeeded or failed at some period of time. Often, however, is an exercise in frustration strike, or by typing an Internet address or find an application in the App Market.
Tablet S comes pre-loaded with many applications that can be left. Not a fan of Foursquare or Evernote? You can get rid of them, if desired, with some of their applications by Sony. Sony also includes a link to the application, choose a site that is "new and unique applications for Android highlights a number of categories that are suitable for Sony Tablet device." Worth it if you're new to Android, but experienced users may decide intermediaries and go directly to the Android Market.
Although Sony has a good job with the physical design of virtual work. Sony is a giant in the media, and it is logical to seek to provide services such as Music Unlimited, an unlimited number of video, Sony Reader and the PlayStation gaming device must be integrated. However, the lack of coherence between the different services. Instead of an account to rule them all, this service will have its individual compounds. To make matters worse, headaches per year, or at least, is our experience. Sometimes it is our repeated attempts to save the service, and have even been blocked at some point, because the area was bad - just strange. Update Manager have helped a little, but even after jumping through some hoops (director of the facility, the updater application), I always had problems with Sony Video Unlimited (LEP) and Music Unlimited (right error) Services. Grind and get everything set up correctly, but hopefully, Sony put in a future update.
Not all Sony S-Tablet software has been marked by errors, however. Easily one of our favorite features is the integrated universal remote control. At a time when I was a compressed S is configured to handle this Sharp HDTV, DirecTV DVR from the console, and we want another Onkyo receiver signal to activate or deactivate the device. Tablet S treating all people with enthusiasm, and did not factor Wow, do not touch our ginormous swing universal remote control for convenient (the Bank). I became a true master of the room, and the only thing missing is a laser to shoot people who dare to appear in front of the TV.
It is also important to support DLNA willing to allow greater flexibility in room S life, if you have a DLNA compliant TV. This is very good, but we have more confuzzled by the lack of HDMI output. If there is a natural habitat for the shelf S is a living room (or cave man).
S is the first certificate PlayStation tablet and comes with some classic games - Crash Bandicoot and Pinball Heroes - pre-installed and ready for use. You can also add more PSone classics and PSP online via PS online store. This has the potential to be great, but so far there are only 10 games available for free download and a half of rest, at a price of $ 5.99. They are:
Cool Borders (free)
Destruction Derby (free)
Playing golf in hot 2 (free)
Jet Moto (free)
MediEvil (free)
Jet Moto 2 (5.99 USD)
Flash Jump (5.99 USD)
Motor Toon Grand Prix (5.99 USD)
Rallycross (5.99 USD)
Wild Arms (5.99 USD)
Games we tried were very good with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 pixels to push around, but are not stretching the core values .......
