Sony Rolling Out Two New Tablets To Take On Apple’s iPad
Sony is planning on releasing not one, but two new tablet computers according to their recent unveiling. The consumer electronic behemoth seems to be pretty optimistic about the chances its two Google Android-based touchscreen tablets have at competing with Apple’s presently untouchable iPad and iPad 2 tablets. The folks over at Reuters are reporting that Sony’s tablets will be reaching consumers this fall. The tablets, called the S1 and the S2, will both be using Google’s Android 3.0 operating system. Both will also have Wi-Fi and 3G/4G compatibility. One of the two models will even sport two screens. Kunimasa Suziki, the president of the consumer products and services group, says the S1 has a 9.4 inch display while S2 has two 5.5 inch displays that can be folded. Consumers who have a knack for video games will also be very excited as the tablets will allow gamers to enjoy PlayStation games on the new devices. Sales of tablet devices are expected to quadruple to about 294 million units between 2011 and 2015, with almost half that Android-based, research firm Gartner has forecast. “Although it’s a late comer in the market, it has potential as what you need is just one big uniqueness that can sell to customers be it design or whatever,” said Lee Sun-tae, an analyst at Meritz Securities in Seoul. “By the same token it can be just one of another Android phones flooding the market amid intensifying competition.” Check out the video below: Sony has yet to set pricing for these two products, but rumors place the S1 at $599 and the S2 at $699. Are you excited for Sony’s new tablets? Do you think they will be able to compete? Perhaps Sony’s tablet will target the gaming niche and lure consumers with a different approach to tablets.
