So any guesses as to the improvements they've got going on with the screen on this tablet? Maybe some white magic tech going on?

I really was hoping for a bit higher res display to make things sharper, but then again I've been pretty happy with the screen on my tablet S so far, so I don't think it'll be such a bad thing that this has the same resolution.
[Sony Tablet S] 3vilhomer:
when will this new tablet be on shelf?? i cant wait to get this!!
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
All those questions are in the thread. September is shipping and the display is a better trublack
[Sony Tablet S] qsp:
Sorry guys been busy working hard. The tablet looks amazing, it's so light, thin and looks nice, picture quality is superb (exmore lens, same as cybershot). Sony put time, quality and dedication on this tablet.. Trust me!

sent for my galaxy tab 10.1
[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
Howdy! Just want to clarify, did you mean it has an Exmor R CMOS sensor used on Cybershots? Or a lens that's used on a Cybershot? Or both?

If it's using a Cybershot lens, I can only imagine it's from the T series cameras and I'd be overjoyed if this were true. I'm holding out hope for that type of lens assembly to find its way into an Xperia phone eventually.
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
Well. Camera is something I don't care on a tablet. But if it is a exmor that is a great plus
[Sony Tablet S] 3vilhomer:
i dont really care about the back camera... the front face camera is more important... that camera should be Exmor R... i think i will use the front face camera for video chat more often than taking pics with the tablet... Tablet S front face camera sux badly...
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
Yeah you are right. And one of the weak points of a front facing camera is the light that can see... Exmor could make the better front facing camera. But is unlikely that Sony would do that

Great News

@qsp and OP, Great news indeed. I am planning to buy Ultrabook but now I'm confused as my major usage is browsing, watching movies Android tablet makes sense. I think Xperia Tablet will be perfect for me

Can you tell me what DAC Xperia tablet has?

I have only 1 in my wishlist. Replacing crappy DAC in Tegra 3 with Wolfson but I don't think that will work out. I believe Galaxy Note 10.1 has Wolfson DAC as it uses Exynos 4412
[Sony Tablet S] lerijiso:
Wow..cant wait for this. Any mentions about the screen? We need gorilla glass.

The resolution is a bit disappointing but not that big of a deal i guess. I like the current sony tablet s form factor so much that I will give this xperia tablet a thumbs up just for its unique design. still in love with the folded magazine look, definitely wont see apple suing sony.

[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
As I see in the pic, have a led notification between power and volume rockers... About the flash led i think it would have it becausethe glass is to large to only have the camera on it

Hi qsp, I have a question, you're working for Sony but you're using a Samsung Galaxy tab? Or am I mistaken?

Is it Playstation Mobile certified? Probably right? :P
[Sony Tablet S] Awesome_Aleks:
You're a clever one ;)

Do you know if there is going to be a Windows 8 tablet announced @ IFA? TBH I'm more interested in that than of this.

Perhaps a production version of the concept they showed at CES and during last year.

finally can post link
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Is there any photo showing the type of charging connector??
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
Looks good so far, but with the price of the Nexus 7 and the iPad 2 at 299, this thing really needs full HD IMO and prob needs to match the ASUS Infinity in specs to stand a chance. People still look at me like an alien when I bring my tablet S out on the train and I have never seen another one in my 8 months of ownership.

This thing WILL fail with the current price and specs, GUARANTEED!
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
I am seen it again and yeah... maybe that a reset hole... maybe the notification is on the front

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

I buy things because I like it... not because others liked them... I will buy this because is the best looking tablet. And Sony looks that put a lot of effort on it
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
I'm exactly like that as well, sadly most people are NOT like us, hence I still believe it will fail with the current specs and price. If it has a full HD screen to match the best Android tablets the tech press will use it more in their comparison lists.

Remember that for an Android tablet to succeed it has to either cut the iPad massively in price like the Nexus 7 or offer something extra like the Asus Transformer series with the built in docking keyboards with loads of extra battery life built in.

Looks alone will not be enough, if not the tablet S would have done very well. Everyone who sees mine thinks it looks very stylish, however I've not seen another one on someone else in 8 months commuting on a two hour train journey every single weekday.

I would love it to do well myself as Sony is my brand of choice and I would would happily upgrade if it had a screen with more resolution.

Sony will not be happy to make a tablet only a minority of people like us will buy as it will not cover their development costs, etc.
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
Well ... in my country the tablet s is the second most used tablet... been the iPad the most... some people use transformer and others galaxy tab... but the iPad and the tablet s are the most used

Sony will hold an event on August 29, a few days before IFA.

The company will be unveiling their Sony Xperia TX, Sony Xperia LT25 and their Xperia tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
If in the tablet market they are quite late... in smartphone are totallate if you see processor. GPU and display... reality display is just not the best Anymore

I really hope Sony put in some impressive displays and processing power... maybe buy ST Ericsson and begin to produce their own CPU with the capabilities to satisfy Sony ecologic efficiency and the power that users want
[Sony Tablet S] qsp:
lol yes i have 4 tablets actually, the motorla xoom, sony tablet s, galaxy tab 10 from t-mob and the transformer prine.. but i always use @ home the tab 10
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
Kinda ironic for someone that work for Sony XD

Qsp do you have some new info that you can show us?
[Sony Tablet S] eddieaus:
Xperia Tablet stand, inspired by iMac?
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
Certainly the accessories for this tablet are pretty stylish and nice looking. If only they can give this thing a full HD screen, it will be at the very top of the Android tablet tree.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:

[Sony Tablet S] spacecat:
I like my sony s but I can't see myself buying another one.

Probably get a microsoft surface pro and give my current sony s to the missus or sell it

well guys soon we goona have the tablets @ stores, hope to get one and take pictures. as soon as i get those pics trust me, you guys going to be the first ones (like always) lol..:)
[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
Hi qsp, as you obviously have insight into the upcoming tablet, I was wondering if you know anything about upcoming Sony Windows tablets, or any other tablets that are near. Maybe a tablet P revision or any plans for Vita OS tablets? A user on esato named randomuser doesn't seem to think there will be any Vita OS devices for at least a year, but I'd also like to hear any info you may have.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
I can assure you there is NO Vita OS devices launching in near future..

[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
Man this is making it hard to decide between this and note 10.1 ....
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
Good point, but this one will have a look closer to stock ICS or JB. I guess it depends if you like TouchWiz already.
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
The 10.1 note is not receiving the best of reviews with sluggish performance especially when multitasking in 2 windows side by side.

Apart from the S-pen, there is nothing special about the 10.1 note.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Now price tag is also very critical for android tablets, specially as Surface is releasing soon.

Sony should price Xperia Tablet at 300 dollars, even ifs not profitable, just to gain some market share n attract more customers, devs, etc..

sent from seXperia S
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
Yeah I liked the s pen and mutitasking then I saw it on video ...... gahh......I'll wait and try the Xperia tab and note in store. Does the tablet s get good updates all ready? Hope Xperia tablet gets timely updates, that would make me want to buy.
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
TBH, the tablet S got a couple of honeycomb updates and is now on ICS 4.03. There a couple of bugs on it which were fixed on 4.04 but it was never upgraded, but now there is rumours of it getting JB 4.1.

I remember there was a big fuss at the time of the ICS update when the US and Japan got it for a few weeks before Europe and people was going mad about it, it seems Android OEM's don't like worldwide OTA rollouts.

I would imagine the Xperia tablet will prob ship with ICS, but it's anyone's guess when it gets JB. IMO if they shipped it with JB, it will probably sell more.
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
Yeah I come from the Asus transformed which had a lot of updates,...I don't know .....what does this have over the note 10.1 other than its awesome design.
[Sony Tablet S] sebasgl1:
I don't like Samsung design at all... Is ugly... Looks that they are trying to make something elegant an classic but keep it futuristic... And the result is something that my grandfather would like... But not young and normal adults
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
Yeah that's why I love Sony design. Anyway can't wait for this tab to launch
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
You are absolutely correct, stunning design, looks like it will have micro usb charging, possible launch with JB or soon after, if this is priced sensibly like around £280, it will become the medium range tablet of choice right between the ASUS Infinity as a high end version and the Nexus 7 for the budget concious. I hope Sony play their cards right on this one.
[Sony Tablet S] lukesjeans:
I had the x10 and arc phones.....went to Samsung gs3 after seeing 2012 line of phones.......hope Sony fixes there support ....
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
Well according to the posts here 300 for the tablet is a no go. from first post

PRICE DETAILS:

16GB $399.99

32GB $499.99

64GB $599.99

If the rumours of $199 surface arm tablets then an android tab might not be worth it. But I doubt it, 299 could be the cheapest price point, but 399 seems more likely.

I'll wait to see what sony offers at ifa, same for samsung, then wait until CES in january or even WMC in feb.
[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
I have been staring at this leaked info for a while, and I have a question. The specs mention a mysterious ST Port on the new tab, but I can't find anything about it. Then we get the above pic of a dock and it has an odd looking port on it... maybe USB, maybe something else. Then just now I was staring at my Vita and its charging connector, and it looks surprisingly similar to the one on the new tab. So, could it be the ST port is the Vita connector? And since this seems to be used for power and data, plus Sony has apparently designed it for things like a speaker dock, could this be Sonys answer to Apples dock connector?

If my speculation is true, I would imagine that practically all Sony devices will have this port in the future. Or am I missing something?
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
According to the info I have, there will a PS VITA connector to be announced can used with Xperia Tablet, u can plug in PS Vita to Xperia tablet using connector to enjoy Vita games on big screen.........not sure if same dan be used for big screen TVs as well
[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
:eek:

How long have you been sitting on this info?? Share more pweeze! :D

Is this really the beginning of Sony competing with Apples dock connector? Sony already makes a frackton of devices with Apple docks, and I had always hoped they would so something similaar for their tabs, phones and misc other stuff.

The potential behind this discovery has me excited :)
[Sony Tablet S] rpc180:
Man this looks like a promising potential upgrade. Currently have a Asus TF700, Sony S1, and a Nexus 7 testing to see which one I want to keep and the Sony is winning by far because of the ease of holding it - its even more comfortable than the 7 which is 2/3rds the weight because of the shape. Negatives right now are the charging brick and the Tegra 2 playback of high bitrate 720/1080p content. Otherwise, its awesome. It looks like the new version incorporates USB charging and has the Tegra 3 ... hopefully its just as comfortable to hold and I'm sold :)

old tab was AK8SGPT111US/AK8SGPT113JP and the new tab which showed up on the 9th of july on the FCC is AK8SGPT1211.

Now another tab showed up on the 2nd of august, AK8SGPT1311, label looks identical to the 1211, any idea why the different number? I don't think it is capacity difference since the old tab did not have that at the fcc, unless it is? no idea

correction... sony ericsson love developers community... sony is very protective
[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
def no full HD, unless Sony decided to switch the screen last minute.
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
I'm guessing they already done their research and perhaps the ASUS Infinity with FULL HD screen is not doing that well with the price tag it has. As long as a competing high end tablet doesn't have the new iPad's 4k resolution display, the apple loving majority tech press will always slate it regardless. Fair play to Apple, they knew their new display will not be matched by Android OEM's since it will make their products too expensive in the eyes of Joe Public.

Perhaps better for Sony to market this against the 1200X800 Android tabs/ iPad 2. All these accessories should make it out from the herd, we shall see.

Xperia tablet is interesting, along with these nice stands and all, but im not sure the price is "right" for it. Should be -100$

When i first heard about sony tablet (Tablet S) I thought like I must have it, it was totally awesome, and in my country a few people only owns sony stuff. So I went to store to check it out , and the back plastic was so scratched and it didnt look very good after all.

But if they can make a aluminium back covered tablet then I migh re-consider buying one of these bad boys.

I hope they really push for JB out the box to launch it on the front foot. LOL
[Sony Tablet S] cobaltlantern:
Not going to buy it. I don't need another tablet with a rear facing camera that I will never use.

Way too expensive, considering that I paid 400 for the one I already own.

The next tablet/pre-built computer I am even considering buying is (sadly) the MS Surface pro, just so I can use it to do everything my current laptop can do.

That keyboard cover looks pretty nice. What're I wonder if it'll have its own built in battery to supplement the tablet, or if it'll just drain the battery from the tablet. If so, I wonder how much power it uses.

Anyone know if this tablet will have IR port and the remote app?
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
I'm pretty certain it will have this as it was one of the main selling points of the first one and there would be no point in removing it from the newer flagship version. The remote app is available on Google Play for all android devices so the Sony tablet one should be available as well.

On another note, I wouldn't mind if Sony had a 7 or 7.7 inch tablet, I like my 7.7 tab from samsung but the accessory lineup is poor but I love the screen on it. I was hoping sony would have at least tried to experiment more with OLED and release more OLED gadgets.

Checking the powerpoint files, it appears there is no USB, but the SD slot remains intact.

Looking at the new one vs old tablet, it feels like sony just reused the front and made a new back.

I feel if Sony decides to launch this with jelly bean, and makes it available for purchase quickly, it could become a popular tablet, if the price was also knocked down by 100 bucks also, that would be a nice treat.

Any idea which tegra 3 this will be running? T30L, T30 or T33?

[Sony Tablet S] ascariss:
I just saw the release date in the press release but I doubt that date includes poland, most likely only for UK, france and germany.

tablet looks nice will check it out once it is in stores but the vaio duo 11 with its touch full HD screen seems like a better tablet but it will probably be a lot more expensive. But the vaio does come with a stylus and if it is anything like the one on the samsung note then it might be a better buy.
