Tablet S gets $100 haircut from Sony
Share:
There is some speculation that the Sony Tablet S was in need of a price cut considering that it had failed to break into the top five tablets not named Apple iPad. But with its original pricing similar to Apple's tablet, Sony apparently decided it needed to hack away at the price tag in order to be priced under Apple's wildly successful device. And if battling the iPad isn't enough, Sony also needs to compete with the sizzling hot Android powered Amazon Kindle Fire, priced at $199.99.
The Sony Tablet S offers a 9.4 inch display with a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor under the hood. Android 3.1 is pre-installed and the tablet offers both a rear-facing and front-facing camera coming in at 5MP and .3MP respectively. The Sony Tablet S is PlayStation Certified, which of course, game players will love.

Not that the tablet is bad by any means but when I went looking for a tablet and I saw the s I couldn't get over how ugly it was. That thickness at the top is just awful. It does have a full SD card slot though :P

Hopefully, in 2012 these manufacturers will realize people will not shell out $500+ for any tablets other than Apple craps.

At February will be when it gets bought then. I know me for one don't want a promise a manufacturer can't keep, that's common nowadays.
