The Sony Tablet S to compete with ipad

The Sony Tablet S, about the size of an iPad, can hook into Sony's online services and PlayStation games.



Sony is serving up a real competitor to the iPad 2, presenting Apple's new CEO Tim Cook with his first big test after Steve Jobs stepped down.

The company today launched its first two tablet computers, with some features that aim to set them apart from the herd of iPad competitors. Analysts have praised Sony's design and functionality but are doubtful it will have much success without a significant price cut.

The wedge-like Tablet S will go on sale in Australia at the end of October but will be available for pre-order from the end of September. The 16GB and 32GB versions will sell for $579 and $689, respectively. This is a markup on the US prices of $499 and $599. The other new model, the dual-screen clamshell Tablet P, is not expected to launch this year.
