Sony is preparing a second tablet VAIO Android and a device with sliding keyboard

The future of Sony also has to do with tablets, and that made us wonder that one of the leaders in consumer electronics not to demonstrate very active in this regard, until he decided to self-placed as the second manufacturer in the future. The first news was we had last week with the first tablet features that would have its 'S1', today we discovered that not come alone.

Next to it, the guys at Engadget, we invite you to visit a couple of devices rather than come before the end of the year: one tablet Android foldable, dual 5.5-inch touchscreen, and a device of 9.4-inch VAIO sliding keyboard operating system Windows 7. Although the picture is not very accomplished introductory gives us an idea of what will be Sony's S2 ', the codename for the second tablet in which the Japanese company is working.

As the model we present last week, will be strongly connected to the service Qriocity contained in the tag and will be certified with the distinctive Certified PlayStation. The cylindrical shape may be being exaggerated in the picture, but can be exposed and because it will have a curved shape in the final design.

Entering specifications, repeat 2 and Nvidia Tegra heart of the system will 3G/WiFi connectivity, plus front and main camera. Instead of using her sister as Sony Honeycomb 'S1', you bet on a customization own Android operating system that takes advantage of the dual screens. We remind you that recently we showed a dual-screen phone developed by Kyocera.

In this sense, the idea can give a lot of game, displaying related content on both screens, such as email, with the list of them in one of them, and the contents of which have open in another. We also talk about the maps, showing the usual view of them, and StreetView in the second. The source of the story goes even further and tell us your price: $ 699, which is a device that will appear at Christmas 2011, for the European market, Japanese and American.

The other device is easier to recreate, although we have no images, since Sony has already worked in the past with Windows devices with slide-out keyboard, like the Vaio UX. But with a 9.4 inches screen, and Windows 7 operating system. In the competition we have similar models like the Asus EeePad Slider with Android, or Sliding Samsung PC 7, this time with Windows 7.

Perhaps this path and adjust prices better do better in the current market VAIO P. In the whole process again pointing to Intel's Atom family is chosen, and that the starting price will be around $ 800, coming to market in autumn, possibly in October. Vía | Engadget.
