Two iPad competitors: Sony has announced two tablet computers, which are intended to accommodate flat with Apple's computers. One looks like so many other tablets too - in other Sony experimented with two touch screens, a hinge and case suitability. Hamburg - Sony will be the next big hardware manufacturers into the business with tablet computers.
Two devices with the new Google Android operating system in the variant "Honeycomb" to come in the second half of the market, announced the Japanese electronics group to Tuesday. One - working name S1 - is to get a touch-sensitive screen iPad in almost the same size as Apple's (9.4 inches).
With the Sony S2 dares an experiment: It is foldable and has two screens with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. Just as Apple's iTunes platform music, digital books and distributes games, Sony will also use its online services to fill his Tablets. The Japanese electronics giant operates a service for Playstation games and sells music and movies via a service called Qriocity.
In addition, there is already an e-book store for Sony's electronic reader, the access to the tablets as well. In addition, the devices can be turned on Sony's Playstation suite called additional software in mobile game consoles that are running old games for Sony's Playstation. At S2, the lower touch screen turns to that end in a game controller.
Sony's devices are lined up in the list of dozens of Android Tablets coming this year on the market. Sony has to have recourse against the competition but the advantage to its own content business: the Japanese are next to the Playstation platform, a Hollywood studio and record label Sony Music.
In recent years, it was Sony, however, not to build on this basis, a distribution business with the penetrating power of Apple's iTunes. Apple had a year ago with the iPad the already presumed dead class of a tablet computer is given new life. Most of the time last year, the group had the market by itself, until the end came rivals such as Samsung's first Galaxy Tab in the trade.
Although currently get as many rivals in the market, industry experts expect Apple to defend the recently launched iPad 2, the top position. This is what the analysts at Gartner iPad this year with a market share of around 69 percent. In the model change in March was the high demand for the Apple iPad two behind not.
