Android Tablet, Sony Tablet S Review
I have to give it to Sony for being the only android tablet that is just the right size to hold in one hand, similar to holding a book. It has a thick edge that makes holding onto easier and is weighted for balance. No other android tablet has this feature making the Sony Tablet Sa winner with consumers. Another great feature is when you sit it down, it will set the screen at an angle for better viewing.Another big plus is that the Sony Tablet S is Playstation Certified, meaning you can now play PlayStation games directly from the tablet. With the great screen, video and sound quality playing games is awesome.
The coolest feature is that you can use the Sony Tablet S as a universal remote control. The built in IR RM sensor lets you control all of your entertainment systems straight from your android tablet. Unlike the other android tablets, this tablet also has DLNA where you can stream music, photos and video from your tablet onto the television by connection of a DLNA cable.
The Sony eReader is the best digital reader of all the android tablets out there. The Sony ebook store is in line with that of Kindle and Amazon. The formatting and font is suburb to that of other digital readers making this a big draw.
The Sony Tablet S also has front and back facing cameras which is a though ahead of the other tablets. The camera quality is great with a clear resolution and great for use with skype.
I found the screen resolution of 1280×800 pixels better than the other android tablets. When viewing a full width page, it is best to set the document at 90% zooming with 800 pixels.
Performance is fast with a top of the line duel-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1GHz CPU. Sony also offers two version of this android tablet in a 16G or 32G option. Every program runs smoothly and quickly with great streaming. Another feature this has that the other android tablets don’t is a micro USB socket so you can transfer files interchangeably with a PC/laptop.
Overall, I think this android tablet is better than its competitors. I did find the Sony Tablet S expensive but the price is not really over the top for what it offers to the consumer. It is an overall Great Product!

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Run Android 2.3 Gingerbread – Sony Ericsson Dev Team Preparing
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 or Xperia X10 Mini Pro, which are based on Benchmark tests, is running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread rather than Android 2.2 Froyo. While the original Xperia X10 mini will release in February 2011 at Mobile World Congress, which makes sense that Sony Ericsson would be preparing the second version for the same Trade to the Future.
This Sony Ericsson unnamed Device, which is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread will apparently come with a 3-inch multi-touch Display with 320 x 480 Pixels resolution, and also built with 1GHz Processor and an Adreno 205 GPU.
While compared to the exsisting Xperia X10 range, the Hardware buttons n the front face are in reserve order and is also consistent ith most models leaked to date including the ANZU and this Handset gets some pretty good Neocore (24.5fps) and Quadrant (1,533) Benchmarks too.
Importantly, this new 1GHz Processor will offer better performance than the Nexus One with Android 2.2 Froyo, according to the Reports.
