Sony announced the release of their two new Android tablets that will be available later this year. The S1 model- the single touchscreen tablet seen on the left- has a 9.4-inch screen. It will be sure to have Sony's reliable build and has a wedge design which Sony claim is more comfortable to hold. The model on the right- the S2- has two touchscreens both measuring 5.5 inches across. It has a curved back, but otherwise is similar to the Nintendo DS. Both devices run Google's Android 3.0 which is designed especially for tablets and both support some exclusive Sony applications. WiFi support is included in both devices- as standard- and 3G or 4G mobile network support is optional. The devices also have infra-red lamps build-in which enables them to control Sony Bravia deviecs. DLNA streaming is also supported by the devices which will allow purchased movies to be played on a television over WiFi, for example.
Wired.com:
"Lastly, a weird quote lifted from Sony’s press release. Talking about the OS, Google’s Android boss Andy Ruben apparently said the following: “Android 3.0 is a new version of the Android platform with a new holographic user interface that is designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets.” Holographic?"
This could prove to be a hint at more to come and, no doubt, Sony will have some woderful surprise hidden up their sleeve. Could a new holographic or 3D projector be compatible with the devices; who knows?
