Sony 'S1', a tablet with which to conquer the market

We started the year sharing with you a story with high expectations from Sony and limited evidence, we summarize that the Japanese company assured her that would be the second vendor tablets shortly. If anyone can make a statement like this is Sony, which history has shown us several times that it has reached new market niches and has dominated.

To not lose much time to get it and have the code name for the first device: Sony 'S1'. The first data on the tablet of Sony that we share are its 9.4 inches screen, using Honeycomb operating system, and its launch in autumn 2011. Sony will work a major operating system customization, but not only from the visual point, but with the addition of its own services that already operate in the market as Qriocity.

Manage the ecosystem, in addition to what Android can provide are key to success. The new service in the cloud content (music, video, games, books ...) Sony will be very important in the team, even talk of a shortcut on the tablet named with the letter 'Q'. After the Facebook button on the HTC I expect anything.

But not everything revolves around Qriocity, so that the other aspects of the device will match is turning to other important departments of Sony: Vaio, Reader, Playstation and Sony Ericsson. The project leading team consists of people of Vaio. Another area in which work is so important, given that talk of Sony, is the control of Bravia televisions with the tablet (will have an infrared port), and to secure their power play, will be certified by the Certified Playstation .

What we know about the hardware for now called Sony S1 is that internally will not be very different from what we've seen in a Motorola Xoom: Nvidia Tegra 2, main camera and front, and 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. And will be taking on any need to talk about the Project Kal-el, but it seems that we stay with the current version of Tegra.

In regard to form, I have no very clear, but it seems that Sony will add a touch curved design which maybe surprise us with the symmetry breaking have all the tablets, with the intention that it may be used comfortably with one hand. The materials are top quality and will play with two different keys on the front and rear.

There will be USB port and two physical buttons: power and volume. The source of the news reports that the WiFi version of S1 appear on the market in September at a price of $ 600. We'll see how things change in recent months, but for now the thing looks pretty good. Vía | Engadget.
