Sony releases Android 4.0 update for Tablet S
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSonyGoogleTablet SAndroid 4.0
Sony has just announced that the Android 4.0 update for its Tablet S is now available and should be rolling out to owners —j ust connect your Tablet S to Wi-Fi and you should be prompted for a system update. It's good to see Sony living up to its word and delivering this update when it said it would, though we're still waiting for the Tablet P to receive its Ice Cream Sandwich update. To go along with this update, Sony's offering the Tablet S at a bit of a discount — if you buy between now and May 12th, you'll receive $50 as well as a free cradle accessory. This puts the Tablet S at $349 for the 16GB model, and while it isn't the best Android tablet we've ever used, the infusion of Ice Cream...

Benchmark of an upcoming Sony tablet with quad-core Tegra 3 processor appears
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSony
Sony appears to have a new device coming down the pipe, appearing as V150 on NenaMark 2 tests. The tablet will be powered by the quad-core Tegra 3 chip, which explains the close to 60fps results in the graphics benchmark test. The submitter is listed as S1, which is also the codename of the first Sony Android tablet, so the V150 is likely a souped-up successor.

Sony Tablet P to go '4G' on AT&T this Saturday
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet P
The dual-screen Sony Tablet P will launch on the AT&T network on March 4th and bring the network's '4G' speeds to the device.
The unique, clam-shell tablet will cost $399, which isn't all that much of a discount, on a two-year contract, with expensive data plans on top of that.
Rather than full 4G LTE internet, users will only have access to the still-pretty-rapid HSPA+ download speeds available on the AT&T network.
Users will need to pay $35 a month for 3GB of mobile data or $50 a month for 5GB of downloads.

Sony Tablet S root available
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet S
Sony Tablet S owners can now obtain root access on their device thanks to a gentleman named Dan Rosenberg. Rosenberg was finally able to hack the device and package everything into an easy to use package.
The Tablet S just needs to be put into USB debugging mode and have a Windows batch file run. Everything you need to have full access to your Tablet S is available over at XDADevelopers.
As per usual, this is run at your own risk, although many are boasting success with this technique, and of course any OTA updates will most likely remove your root access, so be sure to read up before installing updates.

Sony Tablet S and Tablet P Android 4.0 update 'this spring'
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet STablet P
Sony has told TechRadar that it will be bringing Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to its tablet portfolio this spring – which is the first time the company has actually named a time frame for the update.
Before, Sony would only confirm a 'coming soon' but at an event in London, a spokesperson for the company said that ICS would be hitting both the Sony Tablet S and Sony Tablet P in the spring and at the same time.
This means that the tablets will be getting Ice Cream Sandwich around the same time as Sony's phone portfolio.

Sony also said that both tablets would be getting a new update in the near future which would bring Microsoft Office functionality but the company d...

Sony displays VAIO tablet prototypes; future Windows 8 hardware?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksTabletsSony
If you blinked while watching our Sony live blog, you likely missed Kazuo Hirai teasing of a few prototype VAIO laptop and tablets. Well, luckily, Sony's displaying them behind glass at its booth. To me, the most interesting of the two is the tablet that slides over a detachable keyboard. It's a lot like the Series 7 Slider Samsung showed last year (it never came to market), but the tablet separates from the base and also has a stylus. There's a short video of it behind glass below, but if I had to guess this really seems like a perfect fit for Windows 8. (VAIO is Sony's Windows-only brand, its tablet is part of its mobile group.) That said, I ran into a Sony executive at the booth, who said...

Tablet S gets $100 haircut from Sony
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet S
Sony is greeting 2012 by cutting $100 off the price of its Sony Tablet S. The more traditional of the manufacturer's two tablets, the haircut brings the 16GB model to $399.99 and the 32GB version to $499.99. There is no indication that Sony is cutting the price in order to clear inventory nor is there any sign that the Japanese tech giant is planning a sequel that it needs to clear room for. In fact, the company recently confirmed that both of its tablets will be getting updated to Android 4.0.
There is some speculation that the Sony Tablet S was in need of a price cut considering that it had failed to break into the top five tablets not named Apple iPad. But with its original pricing simila...

Sony Tablet S Ice Cream Sandwich update coming "soon"
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSonyGoogleTablet SAndroid 4.0
Sony UK used its online forum to say that the Ice Cream Sandwich updated for one of its tablets, Tablet S, is coming “soon.” Unfortunately, they weren’t too specific, leaving us pondering what exactly that “soon” means. Is it the first quarter, the second one? It’s really hard to tell, but we do hope Sony, as a reputable company that is focusing a ton of energy on Android, will release the new software update sooner rather than later…
And before I let you go, I have a Tablet S-related confession to make. I find it to be one of the best 10.1-inch Android tablets out there. Simply put – it fits perfectly into the hand, making reading content on it an awesome experience. In other words, that “m...

Sony Tablet S to get Android 4.0, but no release date yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSonyGoogleTablet SAndroid 4.0
Sony Ericsson has already jumped ahead of the rest of the Android manufacturer pack by committing itself to releasing Android 4.0 on a slew of smartphones and even going so far as to to release "preview ROMs" for several of them. On the tablet side, Sony looks like it's being equally aggressive. In a post on its official Sony forums in the UK, a staffer posted a message proclaiming that "Android 4.0 will be available for Sony Tablet." The language was a little vague, but a follow up post narrowed it down to the Sony Tablet S. Unfortunately, Sony didn't announce a time frame for release of Ice Cream Sandwich or even when it might announce a time frame, saying only that those details would "be...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet S
The 3G version of the Sony Tablet S Android fondleslab is now shipping, and it is priced a hundred pounds sterling more than the Wi-Fi variant, likely to translate to $100 more in the US, if history of selling mobile gadgets across the Atlantic is any indication.
The tablet has a 9.4" display, and is powered by a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip, with 5MP rear and a front-facing camera both present. It also has the often overlooked infrared sensor, which is placed there to allow using the slate for a remote of Sony's TVs and Blu-ray players.

Best Buy puts the Sony Tablet S on display for pre-order
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet S
The story of what is currently going on with the Sony Tablet S is a bit muddled. As we reported, Home Shopping Network is offering the 16GB version of the Android tablet for $599.95. Now keep in mind that the typical HSN viewer might not be someone who is well versed in technology and wouldn't know the difference between a device with 16GB of storage, or one with 32GB of storage. HSN says that the tablets are ready to ship.
On the other hand, Sony is taking pre-orders for the same 16GB version of the tablet for $499.99. The tablet is expected to ship on the 16th of this month which means if you can wait until Friday, you can save a C-note. Otherwise, if you buy the device from HSN you will ...

Sony’s recently announced Tablet S is now available for pre-ordering in the UK. Users can choose between three models – 16GB Wi-Fi, 32GB Wi-Fi and 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G. If you don’t need 3G connectivity on a tablet and really dig that folded magazine look and feel, you can secure the 16GB model for 399.99 GBP. The 32GB version could be yours for 100 pounds more, which is also the price of the 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G model.
When it comes to availability date, Dixons — which claims to have an exclusive two-week pre-order window — lists September 16 for 16GB Wi-Fi Tablet S and September 23 for the 32GB Wi-Fi Tablet S. No date was given for the 3G-enabled model, though.
