Some said if a tablet’s appearance doesn’t like iPad, then it’s not a Tablet, that’s funny, whoever said that, he must be a crazy iPad fan. But there is always someone dare to make changes, yes, I am talking about Sony, shaped like a folded over magazine, Sony’s Tablet S is maybe the weirdest looking tablet we’ve ever seen, but we have to admit that it’s the most comfortable tablet we’ve ever seen. While it looks like the work of a crazy person, the design is deliberate. Sony thinks the wedge-shaped build will make the Tablet S more comfortable to hold in one hand, as well as making it sit more naturally on flat surfaces.

Compared to iPad2, Sony S is very thin and light, even equipped with two 5.5-inch touch screen, overall weight is till 0.82 pounds (367g), just has half weight of Sony Tablet S (S1) and iPad2. Alternatively they can operate independently, for example, playing video or games on one while showing control buttons or a keyboard on the other. Like other tablets it can surf the web, check email, download music and videos. More significantly, it can also be used in line with Sony’s PlayStation gaming technology and its popular eReader digital book downloads, but just like iPad, we still need to have the aid of blu-ray ripper to watch blu ray videos on Sony Tablet, so that’s a similarity between Sony and iPad anyway, huh, just kidding. Besides, Howard Stringer, Sony CEO said that Sony P can provide music and movies via built-in “entertainment library”, which is a big advantage compared to other competitors. He said: “Apple made iPad, but it can make the film? We want to prove that it’s not who makes it first that counts, but who makes it better,” he said at the IFA conference.

Holding the Tablet S, you will impressed by how light it felt. At 598g for the Wi-Fi version, it’s ever so slightly less heavy than the Wi-Fi iPad 2, which tips the scales at 601g. We suspect you could lug this tablet around all day, and not have to worry unduly about your bones collapsing under the strain. And look between the black bars of the bezel and you’ll be greeted with a 1,280 x 800 display that Sony says uses the company’s TruBlack technology — already a staple in its Bravia televisions, so imagine how wonderful it will be to rip blu-ray to mp4 and enjoy the HD movies on this high quality display.

It seems like after being launching into the market, this Tablet has a nice respond, but to us consumers who have experienced HP’s ＄99 Tablet and Amazon’s low price Kindle Fire, is really that easy for Tablet S to attract us? I’m not sure, but once it comes down in price, that’s another thing, huh huh.
