Sony has also joined the same bandwagon, having announced two new Android Honeycomb tablets in the Fall of 2011. The two upcoming Sony Android Honeycomb tablets are known as Sony S1 and S2.
The two Sony Android tablets have their own unique form factors that make them different from the mass out there. The Sony S1 (pictured above) comes in a slate-style form factor and has a 9.4-inch screen. The little specialty is its strange rolled shape and an “off center of gravity design” that lets you hold it more firmly. The Sony S2 is a dual-screen Android tablet which packs two 5.5-inch screens.
Currently information about the specs of the S1 is still on the sparse side. Except knowing that it packs a Tegra 2 chip which will allow it to handle HD content playback. Other known goodies of the S1 are IR port for AV controls, DLNA support and the ability to work with Sony’s Bravia line of TVs. It should also let you access the Playstation Suite games.
The Sony S2 has even less information at the moment, what’s known about it is it has two 1,024 x 480 screens, which allows you to use two separate screens for two different apps or combine them into one large screen for web browsing etc.
Both tablets have focus on the Sony’s Qriocity platform which integrates music, video, e-book and other services. As mentioned and indicated by the Japanese business daily The Nikkei, the two tablets will hit Japan this fall, but there shouldn’t be a simultaneous global launch.
