   Sony has put a lot of work into the Tablet S and it definitely shows: its the most comfortable Android tablet to hold and use. It also bundles some exclusive, nifty apps that you won't find on any other tablet. We wish the screen was brighter, build quality better and software slicker, but the Tablet S remains a pretty good device on the whole. Read more

   Sony Tablet offer great tablet design. It's definitely a strong contender for other tablet products. After testing this product, here is my review: Likes: - Nice design, easy to hold. It has like a non-slip texture. - Power on less than 1 minute. - The built-in remote control function is pretty cool. - 2 cameras are pretty handy for video chat. - SD Card slot and USB are very handy for business use. Dislike: - The volume button location is too close to the power button. Read more
