Get ready for the Sony Tablet S

For those who seek the unique, the new, the innovative, Sony has always had the answer. The company’s foray into the tablet market has produced the Sony Tablet S, a 16 or 32GB tablet that takes all of the power and quality you know and rely on from Sony and packs it into a unique wedge-like design that feels like your favorite magazine folded up comfortably in your hand.

The Sony Tablet S is lightning fast, super responsive, and is power-on ready to run apps, Playstation games, videos, and eBooks, all on a crystal clear TruBlack^TM>display. You can even control the electronics in your living room, with the touch of your finger.

As comfortable as your favorite pair of shoes

You know that sensation you have when you grip a rolled-up magazine, book, or something you’re really looking forward to sitting back and enjoying? Tough to explain, but it just feels ‘right’. That’s the sensation of holding The Sony Tablet S.

The tablet looks like one of your favourite weekend reads, folded thick at the binding and tapering off to a thin 0.3 inches. The design distributes the weight of the tablet to the centre of your hand, making it more natural to hold and much more difficult to drop. And although it weighs 5 grams less than the leading tablet, the unique shape makes it feel even lighter.

If you like one-handed typing and scrolling, this is definitely the tablet for you. Hold it in portrait mode and scroll through web pages, books, or send off a quick email. Lay it down in landscape mode and the slope provides you with an easy surface for full keyboard typing. When watching videos, the wrapped design gives you a lap or table view that reduces glare and improves your overall screen presentation. No matter which way you decide to hold it, the design of the Sony Tablet S will exceed your expectations.

Life moves fast; so should your tablet

In a tablet computer, you want immediate response when loading websites, games, books, and apps. The Sony Tablet S features Swift and Smooth operation technology, which allows for swift and smooth transitions between online and tablet content.

Running the latest Android operating system, your Tablet S will have you cruising through web pages or downloading thousands of apps available from the Android marketplace almost instantly. Enabled with the Social Feed Reader, you can enjoy a quick overview of your favorite social media updates all in one spot. The SelectApp site will keep you up-to-date on all of the new and popular Android™offerings, so you never have to miss out on an app that will customize your tablet experience. You’ll spend so much time surfing, you might forget to check out the other features packed into this tablet.

The Sony Tablet S comes with a front and rear-facing camera, making it perfect for capturing images no matter where you are. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and you can quickly transfer files by inserting an SD card or hooking it up via Micro USB.

A “Hang it on the Wall” quality display

When you want movie theatre quality display but don’t want to get out of your PJ’s, you turn to a Sony television. And now, that same Sony picture quality is available in tablet form. The 9.4 inch Tablet S features LED-lit TruBlack™display, which reduces the reflection and glare from light and gives you excellent visibility - whether you’re in the living room or outside on the deck in the blinding sunshine.

The screen is a 1280 x 800, making it great for viewing any type of content: Games, videos, photos, websites - the Tablet S takes whatever you can throw at it and produces vibrant, rich colours and deep blacks that will tempt you to hang it on the wall and use it as a TV.

Dig through your couch for loose change, not the remote control

Your entire family is in the rec room, ready to watch a movie. You jostle for a position on the couch, grab your popcorn and drink, and sit back to enjoy the show. But where are those 3 remotes you need to turn everything on? With a Sony Tablet S, you can control your Blu-ray, your TV and your cable box with a simple touch of your finger. And it doesn’t even have to be a Sony product - your Sony Tablet S will take control of other brands of electronics just as easily.

If the movie’s over but your family isn’t quite ready to call it a night, the Tablet S can keep the fun going. Now you can transfer your personal videos, photos and music from the tablet to your DLNA compatible TV or speakers, allowing you to watch captured home movies or listen to downloaded music right on your big screen or stereo. It doesn’t take an engineering degree to set up either. DLNA devices will discover and connect with each other over your home network, no wires required.

Not one, not two, but three unique ways to play

Video Unlimited gives you the movies you want, when you want them

The Sony Tablet S gives you instant access to your next entertainment fix. Video Unlimited is your ticket to purchasing or renting new movies and old favourites, all without having to sign up for a monthly subscription. Best of all, your rentals from Video Unlimited disappear from your tablet when they expire. No more trudging through the snow at midnight to return a late movie.

The book everyone will want to read

The unique shape of the Sony Tablet S will make you feel like you are reading a paperback, but this paperback has the ability to download over 2 million titles at the Reader™ Store from Sony. If the text looks too small, you can adjust the font. When you are finished reading, you can bookmark and highlight your spot so you can get back to reading quickly.

PlayStation Certified for the new or retro gamer

As if there wasn’t enough to keep you entertained, the Sony Tablet S comes PlayStation® Certified. Straight out of the box you can play favorites like Crash Bandicoot and Pinball Heroes, or download other PSone™ and PSP™ game titles. This is a gamers’ dream tablet, where the titles you’ve known and loved from Playstation are back and better than ever.
