The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
Interested in a great deal? AT&T is offering both the dual-screen, clamshell Sony Tablet P, with Android 3.2 aboard, and the PlayStation certified Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY 4G in a bundle deal for $299.99. While that is certainly a significant savings, the carrier is requesting that you sign a 2-year contract for each device. Still, you have to keep in mind that the Sony Tablet P alone has a $400 to $550 price tag depending on whether or not a 2-year contract was executed by the buyer.
Looking at the specs on each device, we will start with the Sony Tablet P with the unique (for a tablet anyway) clamshell form factor with a dual screen. Opening the device reveals a pair of 5.5 inch screens, each with resolution of 1024 x 480 and a pixel density of 206 ppi. The tablet is powered by a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor with 1GB of RAM. A 5MP rear-facing camera supports video at 720p and there is a front-facing VGA camera for self-portraits and video chat.
We haven't looked at the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY 4G for some time, so don't be shocked by the specs. The handset has a 4 inch screen with resolution of 480 x 854 and a pixel density of 245 ppi. Under the hood is a single-core 1GHz Scorpion ARMv7 with an Adreno GU graphics processor. There is 512MB of RAM on board and a 5MP camera on back that takes 720p video. There is a front-facing camera and Android 2.3.3 is installed. Still looking good considering its age.
If you are a Sony fan, this deal is tailor made for you. And even if you are just looking for the Tablet P at a great price, you are saving up to $250 bucks with the bundle and getting the smartphone thrown in for free. As long as you don't mind signing on the dotted line for the 2-year pact on both devices, this bundle could be a great deal.
