With all the competition in the Android tablet space, we’re seeing more Wi-Fi only models — the Asus Transformer Prime comes immediately to mind. Tablet makers argue it helps keep costs down and it’s easy to tether from our smartphones, but it’s always nice to have the option. So I’m glad to see Sony bringing the 3G version of its 9.4-inch Tablet S slate to Australia, alongside a single 3G version of the folding, twin 5.5-inch screen Tablet P. Both hit stores mid-next week.
So Sony slashed $US100 off the price of the Tablet S in the States overnight. But what about Australia? Given the $579 RRP for the 16GB version, we kind of hoped Sony Australia would follow suit. Turns out that won’t be happening in the immediate future.
Not much to the story beyond the headline, really; if you’ve been hanging out for Sony’s uniquely shaped Tablet S, it’s been announced that they’ll be on sale tomorrow.
The Tablet S is a nice looking and feeling tablet on the outside, but is beauty only skin deep? There’s only one way to find out — tear one apart.
Shaped like a folded over magazine, Sony’s Tablet S is maybe the weirdest looking tablet we’ve ever seen. But it’s also the most comfortable.
