Sony announces its Sony Xperia Tablet Z

Technically, the Google Nexus 10 does have a screen size of 10.05, but we were just rounding it off. Seeing as that would take the pixel density under 300 and keep you up at night, we changed it for you. No tipping necessary.

Yeah, it's 6000 mAh, way smaller than the N 10's 9000 mAh. (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/20/sony-xperia-ta​blet-z/)
I don't understand the thinness war on tablets anyways. I don't want my tablet to feel like it's going to break in half, especially when I know I could be getting more battery life were it thicker.

leave battery but it has micro sd card slot so equal...........

That's if you equate a MicroSD slot to battery life. For the record, I'd take a full-size SD slot (and full size USB 3.0 slots, for that matter), which they could've more easily done had the tablet been thicker.

"N10 design is better" Really?

12. Commentator posted on 20 Jan 2013, 22:36 2 3

I think he means in terms of performance, not build quality or appearance.

I'd take the sleek edges and glass build of the Xperia over the plastic, clumsy-looking roundish shape of the Nexus 10, but the Nexus 10 has A) a better screen, B) a better battery, and C) stock Android, which make for a better-designed user experience, in my opinion (and apparently MeoCao's), than quality building materials do.

I do mean N10 design is better.

Design must serve a purpose, and for 10" tablets the comfortable hold must be the main focus.

with N10 you have peace of mind that you will not drop the thing, and it's warm and nice to hold.

Tablet Z may look sleeker to some but I like the N10 look better, but that's just personal tastes.

To each his own, but I hate holding a warm tablet/phone. I love my Evo's aluminum back mainly for the reason that it is usually cool to the touch.

lol, in cold weather we want to hold something warm, when it's hot we want to touch something cool. So it depends I guess.

But in Japan the weather is rarely hot.

People nowadays can't make the difference between design and aesthetic. As for me, I'd take the N10 over this, as well..

but i like tablets that are premium to hold. or in other words worthy to be called a flagship tablet.

Sony hasn't done well selling anything lately. Their CEO has blamed it on lack of brand unity, hence his "One Sony" project. I honestly can't say why, though, they make pretty good products. I just bought a touchscreen Vaio notebook a couple weeks ago and I love it.

That's like saying that since the Nexus 4 cost $350 no phone should cost more than $350...

Nexus 10 is $500 for a 32gb, Sony tablet will probably be $400 I would take a Sony tablet any day, I just don't like the Nexus 10 at all.

hahaha!!! just cant accept the fact, sony is bringing the best this year, pls. dont compare a powerful, tough and masterpiece design to plastic.

The so called design is very subjective. What you call a masterpiece is not necessarily such a cool design for all people. What you call "plastic" can be very attractive to a lot of people.
