Sony Tablet S 16GB 3G Reviews
The Sony Tablet S has everything needed to be a fantastic tablet, and a front-runner in the Android race. The form factor makes it a superb buy for people who spend time on the move. If you're choosing an Android tablet you won't be disappointed, but if it's a shoot out between the Sony Tablet S and the iPad 2, unless you're a hardened Sony fan, then your money is still better spent with Apple.

Sony has taken its time to enter the tablet race and the Tablet S shows the company has learnt from many of the mistakes made by its rivals and worked hard to integrate worthwhile differentiators. This effort is largely successful and while PlayStation conversions and Sony's Music and Video Unlimited services are only in their infancy these should bear substantial fruit in time. Certainly the Tablet S isn't without its faults. Connectivity options feel different largely for the sake of it and Sony still can't resist dipping into proprietary ports, but the practical wedge styling should attract a loyal following - especially as it carries no weight penalty. Some may take issue at the slightly reduced screen size, but battery life possibly benefits from the choice of a 9.4in display and the added pixel density makes it easy on the eyes. For those who want a tablet which stands out from the pack the Tablet S will prove a sound investment.

There's a lot to like about the Tablet S. The shape is great, making the tablet more comfortable to hold and use than the usual super-slim examples. If you are buying it for living room use, then the built-in IR control is a truly useful addition, and the main reason to buy a Tablet S over its competitors. Battery life, the display and the camera are all fairly typical for an Android tablet, though, which is disappointing given the expectation that comes with a Sony logo. Most people shopping for an Android tablet should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - though the Apple iPad 2 remains the gold standard for such devices.
