Sony unveiled during a press release the first of five teaser videos regarding its upcoming Android tablets.
The video itself does not show much, and if it wasn’t released during this press conference, you would not even think that it is for the new S1 and S2 tablets.
Both Sony tablets, the S1 and S2 will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
The S1 is a 9.4-inch touchscreen tablet, powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 chip. The S1 Sony Android tablet will have as most tablet, two cameras, one in the front and one in the back.
The S2 tablet will feature a dual 5.5-inch touchscreen and will also be powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 chip. The S2 will only have one camera. The design of the S2 Sony Android tablet is unique for a tablet. The clamshell design with a screen on each side will allow independant use the screens or using the bottom screen as a keyboard/ gamepad.
Actually both tablets will have access to Sony Playstation Suite for playing Playstation games. They will also have access to Sony Qriocity service which integrate Sony’s device into a common network that you can access and use from your tablet. The S1 for instance could act like a remote control to control any Sony Bravia devices. You’ll be able to control your TV right from your Android tablet. The upcoming Vizio tablet already features such a function. The Samsung Galaxy S2 smartphone has a free app on the Android Market for that purpose also.
The codenamed Sony Android tablets S1 and S2 are set to launch this September. So expect a lot of news concerning these two tablets in the coming weeks.
