Clamshell shaped Sony Tablet P gets UK launch
The Sony Tablet P is now available in the UK for 499GBP which translates into $773 USD. Instead of a slate design, the Sony Tablet P's clamshell form factor allows it to be equipped with dual 5.5 inch "TruBlack" displays, each with resolution of 1024 x 480. Sony says that by manipulating the refraction of light between the LCD and the screen, it is offering a display with vibrant colors and sharp images. The model for sale at Sony's web site and UK stores has 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Sony might be counting on the unique look of the device and the dual screens to compete in a crowded tablet arena as the specs are just about what every high-end tablet is wearing these days.  The Sony Tablet P has a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor under the hood with 1GB of RAM aboard (on its web site, Sony is playing up the multitasking capabilities of the tablet). You will find a pair of cameras on the tablet with a 5MP shooter on back and a .3MP one on front. 4GB of native storage can be pumped up to as much as 36GB using a microSD card and Sony says that the battery in the tablet will last 7 hours.

One feature that Sony can deliver that other tablet manufacturers can't is PlayStation Certification which means that the Tablet P offers Crash Bandicoot and Pinball Heroes out of the box and you will be able to download a multitude of original PlayStation games from the Android Market.

If you live in the States and are wondering if you will see the Sony Tablet P make the trip across the Atlantic, the device is expected to come to the US for AT&T in both a Wi-Fi only and LTE 4G version.

If you're in America it could be cheaper if and when it gets here.

This and the PSV should have been the same device.

This is why Apple is doing so well in the tablet segment. When manufacturers come out with some hair-brained concept that just doesn't make it, Apple gets a few more months (maybe a year) of market hegemony. The only way the P makes it in the U.S. is with a selling price less than $200 out-the-door. At that price point, the buyers would never be iPad buyers, so no net loss to Apple.
