[Sony Tablet S] Luxfero:
Well you are going to run into problems if you are trying to play rar files becuase they are not video files but archivers.

Yes, the HDMI is that long. The reason is that the cable is an HDMI female to Multi Port female. In other words you don't atually connect it directly to the display but connect an a HDMI male cable to the female end of the 15cm long cable.

Speaking about the HDMI cord any one have an idea what that extra port besides the HDMI port is?
[Sony Tablet S] schmoove:
Looks like an amazing tablet. I think I am going to pick up the 3G version.

Also nice that you can extend memory with an simple regular SD-card.
[Sony Tablet S] rpc180:
Any idea what 3G bands are supported (and how much it would cost)? I'd be intersted in having it case I ever want to activate the capability.
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
I think is the sake port of the tablet. So you can charge it or put another toggle like the USB port
[Sony Tablet S] huangzhanchao@gmail.com:
i think the price is ok for me.
[Sony Tablet S] Luxfero:
Yeah it makes sense I think thats what it is since they said the tablet could charge at the same time it was connected through HDMI.

I already have the Sony Tablet S and I'm thinking of upgrading and giving the old one to my sister.

Can anyone suggest or give me any advice on which version I should get.

My old tablet is 32GB and I'm only using about 4GB.

I want at least 32GB but is 64GB really necessary or useful, does anyone actually end up needing more storage?

I delete videos after watching them and don't actually listen to music on my tablet besides occasional radio streaming.

Besides I have a 64GB SD card thats barley full.

Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance.

According to the site fonearena (link):

2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G: HSDPA 900 / 2100

In the Netherlands the tablet (with 3G) is priced at €529 (link)

Why not just get the 16gb one and add a 64gb SD-card (like $50 or so for a fast one)? 16gb should be enough for apps. The SD-card can hold music/photos/videos.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
If you usually use SD cards for storing your music and video files, then having a large amount of internal memory is unnecessary and I believe you will find having only 16 GB of internal memory satisfactory.
[Sony Tablet S] anderswede:
Well, now I just put my series and movies on the SD-card and watch them on my Tablet S with BSPlayer (in. rar), but 720p still stutters.

That's why I need to know if the Tegra 3 can handle scenereleases in 720p; if so, we got a mobile HTPC with HDMI-out, and all is well...
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
I would get the 16gb version and install a 16 c4 I got from my Arc... and my arc have now a 32 c4. I am not short in memory
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
some pricing and availability of the tablet

16GB wifi - 399 euros, end of september (sgpt121)

32GB wifi - 499 euros, end of september (sgpt122)

16GB wifi/3G - 519 euros, middle of october (sgpt131)

64GB wifi/3G - 719 euros, middle of october (sgpt133)

pretty expensive as always the 3G.
[Sony Tablet S] frothe3:
No, it is still 9.4" screen. Coming out in October here in the US.
[Sony Tablet S] schmoove:
What about the screen? I thought the orignal Tablet S didn't have a glass screen, but plastic (is that true?)?

What about this one? Is it glass or Gorilla Glass even?
[Sony Tablet S] Luxfero:
You should try extracting your rar files and try playing them that way.

I think you are having problems with your player doing extra work by unpacking the rar files and causing your stutter.

I usually never experience any problems with 720p files even with embedded subtitles.

I didn't understand that last bit about your mobile HTPC and HDMI-out.
[Sony Tablet S] meister00:
Does anyone know whether we could unlock the bootloader this time??

really wanna have a chance to flash custom roms...(if any)
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The answer is most likely "No." However, your question, as well as many of the questions being asked in this thread, can only be answered with certainty after the tablet is released to market.
[Sony Tablet S] anderswede:
Nevermind the extracting of files (I just skip that step with BSPlayer for Android, as I do with XBMC on my PC; but of course I've tried to extract the files also); my question is if the Tegra 3-processor is powerful enough to handle scenereleases in 720p?

Would the Sony Xperia Tablet S play, say, "Snow.White.and.the.Huntsman.2012.EXTENDED.720p.Bluray.X264-AMIABLE" or "Real.Time.With.Bill.Maher.2012.08.31.720p.HDTV.x264-SYS"?

My Tablet S is not capable of this; tried with loads of files with all the good players... And since there's already Tegra 3-devices out there, maybe somebody knows this?
[Sony Tablet S] albertfann:

[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
yeah and I purchased at SGD 668 during launch !!! :mad:
[Sony Tablet S] meister00:
i don't have a tablet s

but my arc, with only one core can handle a 720p video well(some will be a little bit laggy)

so i don't think the tablet s can't handle it

if u say xperia tablet s, i'm really sure it can handle a 720p video, even a 1080p one
[Sony Tablet S] albertfann:
omg, sorry to hear that..
[Sony Tablet S] darth5zaft:
Does the new tablet support miscast?
[Sony Tablet S] Luxfero:
I can only tell you that I can play scene releases at 720p smoothly with no problems.

I don't see why scene releases would be any different than any other 720p videos.

Technically tegra 3 quad processor will be faster than tegra 2 dual processor.

Where are you playing your files from internal memory, external memory, network stream?

Also have you tried playing natively supported formats.

I've been able to play native 1080p videos perfectly.

Maybe theres something wrong with your settings on your player.

The problem might just be bitrate and highprofiles.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Anyone getting it on 7th Sep itself?

sent from the BEaST Galaxy S3
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
I have the Tablet S, but tempted to upgrade. If there are any freebies like Google Play credits I might go for it.

Really wished this had a FULL HD screen then it would have been an easy upgrade for me. I use mine a lot and the tegra 2 can no longer keep up with me, LOL
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
I might of bought it if it had a usb port but since there ain't one I'll give it a miss or maybe wait until I'm in Hong Kong and see if i can pick one up in the new year sales :silly:
[Sony Tablet S] darth5zaft:
There's a micro usb slot on the keyboard covers.
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
Personally I am not sure I might get it now, android is good, but I feel that once windows RT comes out, developers would opt to develop for that rather than android for tablets. The fact that the tablet is coming out in October here, I'll wait for any price announcements regarding the msft surface. If sony came out with a similar like tablet running windows RT I'd rather get that than an android tablet. Of course an android tab will be cheaper and run longer but I feel the windows based tablet will be a better purchase for the long run. Although no OEM tablet running 8 has really captured my eye except the vaio duos 11 but that is too thing. Sony should have something similar like the msft surface.

best not to rush into android again, CES is just around the corner and I feel there might be some nice surprises.

Xperia Tablet S announced in Japan, coming on 15th September !!

Hope to see Xperia Tablet S in Singapore in September itself :D
[Sony Tablet S] IxBUSTERxI:
I went to the IFA today and took a glimpse at the tablet. UI seems smoother, however there weren't many apps installed. ICS was installed, but I can't tell which version exactly, cause they were running demo mode, so I couldn't open settings. Screen is nice and bright, but comparable to the current one. The build quality felt a bit worse than the tab S's. The hardware buttons stick out a lot more. It's quite thin and feels more plasticy (I'd that a word?). One tab was already a bit damaged (the Black backside came off).

I got confirmation that there will be an USB adaptor to charge it.

The accessories are really, really nice. I totally dig the keyboard case.

Nevertheless, for the current price tag of this thing it's not an option for me and I will definitely keep the tab s. But it's a nice tablet with a very nice accessories availability.

[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
How was the touch keyboard on the case? responsive or a bit laggy, some reviews show it as being laggy.
[Sony Tablet S] GAReed:
I pre-ordered 30Aug. Expect Shipping 07Sep.. maybe next week :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
Thanks for the feedback on what you thought of it, not surprised though that some things were broken as some of the videos I saw they were so rough with them and dropping them so hard on the tables. We wouldn't be so rough since we spent our own money on them, LOL.

Interesting you mentioned it feels more plasticky even though it's more aluminium this time. Strangely a lot of people thought the older one felt more plasticky due to more plastic than this new version.
[Sony Tablet S] IxBUSTERxI:
It was actually quite responsive and lag free. It's very intuitive and better to get used to than my Bluetooth silicone keyboard for example.

Yop, some tabs got treated pretty badly... I would have took em :angel:

Yeah it had the aluminum, but as it's light and the front and part of the back is still plastic it felt a bit awkward. However, I only took a quick glimpse ;)

Hi, I've bought the new tablet yesterday, by now vey nice impression. Just one question to the other owner: in guest mode, is it possible to have small apps? I cannot make it work and honestly find it weird...why another user with all the privileges cannot have that simple function?
[Sony Tablet S] anderswede:
Ok, could you name some of these 720p videos you say your Tablet S is playing, so I could check the same videos on mine?

Nope.
[Sony Tablet S] charlie_guru:
I upload a 1080p video from my gopro and it run smoothly. On the keyboard cover no lag that i notice on it. As for the guess mode, its oriented so u create and account for kids to play and use basic app you want them to use. So they will be limited to a lot of basic features. They can even download games but unless the admi approves they wont be able to play them.

Also the black plastic fold part it's getting kinda warm never happend on the older sony tablet.

On first boot up, you are prompted to update the firmware which then adds the functionality to write to the SD card from third party apps.

[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
what are IR macro?
[Sony Tablet S] Fluxman:
The IR Blaster. Currently on the Tablet S, you can only control one device at a time with one button press. The Macro mode allows you to turn on your TV, cable box and stereo and set them right all with one button press (ala Logitech Harmony Remotes). This would make the Tablet S way more usable in the living room as a remote.

[Sony Tablet S] animaleyes76:
Sad to say but it's dead in the water before it even starts.

The original tablet s was already behind the times in terms of tech when it was released, a small cpu upgrade etc plus a few tiny other changes aren't gonna help. 1280x800 is a complete joke as well.

I own a tablet s and was really excited when i read about the new versions, but if these specs are really accurate it will be a sad sad day, especially at the prices they are allegedly gonna try and charge for it.

Could have been sooooo much more...
