Sony Tablet S and Sony Tablet P  (Source: Sony)
These tablets were formerly called the S1 and S2

Sony has been teasing its new tablets for a while now. The tablets are called the Tablet S and the Tablet P; both run the Android operating system and they are vastly different in execution. The Tablet S is a single screen device with a 9.4-inch screen and a Tegra 2 processor running the show. The tablet weighs in at 1.33 pounds and has a design that is thicker on one side than the other to make use more comfortable. The tablet also has integrated Wi-Fi.

The Tablet S will come in three models with Wi-Fi only in 16GB and 32GB styles and a Wi-Fi/3G version in a 16GB capacity. All have the same 9.4-inch 1280x800 resolution screen. The tablets also have Bluetooth, a USB port and IR remote capability. The rear camera is a 5.11MP unit with a 0.3MP front camera for video chats. The battery is good for up to eight hours watching video or listening to music. The 3G version is good for about six hours of use.

The Tablet P is a much different device that folds in the middle and has a pair of 5.5-inch 1280x480 resolution screens when unfolded. This tablet has the same front and rear cameras as the Tablet S. It also uses the Tegra 2 processor and has a USB connector. It comes only in one version that has 4GB of storage, Wi-Fi, 3G, and Bluetooth onboard. The Wi-Fi/3G Tablet S and Tablet P both run Android 3.2 while the Tablet S Wi-Fi only versions run Android 3.1. The battery in the Tablet P is good for six hours of video playback.

“These devices truly represent the best of everything Sony has to offer,” said Mike Lucas, senior vice president of Sony Electronics’ Networked Technology and Services Division. “From hardware to software and services, Sony Tablet devices embody all our innovations rolled into one.”

Pricing is unknown, the Tablet S will ship at the end of September and the Tablet P will ship in November.

But uh how much are you going to charge? Given the history of your price points have you learned your lesson?

All in all though, it actually is refreshing to see a different take on the tablet market. Though that folding screen one, looks a like like a Nintendo DS. hmm.
