Sony Tablet S - iPad Alternative
Phone owned for less than a month

Beautiful design makes this tablet really stand out from the crowd, I also love the PlayStation certified gaming on it and cannot wait for Sony's "four-screen" idea to develop with their phones, tablets, PlayStation and televisions. The Tablet S also has the function to control your TV as a remote and a 'Swipe up' function to display what is on the tablet onto your TV screen! It comes with 3.1 Honeycomb as stock, and has an immediate update to 3.2 but has also been confirmed to be getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich software update - not that there is anything wrong with Honeycomb. The Screen is also beautiful offering pleasant viewing and the on-screen keyboard is also very nice, this has to be the best android tablet to date in my opinion, however it does lack a quad core processor seen on the new Transformer Prime and Sony do not seem to advertise their products enough!
