Sony tablets are iPad-killers?

Two new tablets from the company behind PlayStation. Unfortunately they failed to impress. Not even the man's smile below can change that.

Sony tablets fail to impress on price, hardware




Sony's hopes of dominating consumer electronics once again with its new tablets suffered a crushing blow on Wednesday from analysts and gadget reviewers whose first impressions were overwhelmingly bad.

Among their concerns were a high price and features that suggested Sony Corp would remain an also-ran rather than a leader in the tablet market. Two versions of Sony's main tablet cost $499 and $599, the same price as two lower-end Apple iPad models.

"Consumers want tablets, but they are not prepared to pay the same amount they'd pay for an iPad for something that's not an iPad," said Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi. "Despite the brand and different design, with its pricing so close to the iPad, it will be challenging for Sony."

The Japanese company is already late to the game with its first tablet, which hits store shelves in September, more than a year and a half after Apple Inc launched the iPad and almost a year since Samsung Electronics Co Ltd came out with the GalaxyTab.

What if Sony comes up with the apps? They already have PlayStation app to lure those who might be interested in games.

Sony Tablet S got a strong review

There’s a lot packed in, and despite some ragged edges the software line-up certainly adds plenty of value. And that’s the picture we take away from Sony’s Tablet S as a whole. It may be unusual, but it isn’t quirky for the sake of it. The design works very well, the universal remote control facility is a stroke of genius and it’s backed up by solid performance in all the key areas: the camera is good, the screen is excellent, the battery life fine, and performance well up there with the best.

In terms of sheer desirability, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a brighter screen and slimmer, sexier profile, while the iPad 2 has its far larger library of tablet-specific apps to give it an edge. But we have to say Sony’s new baby runs them very close indeed.
