Out of the two tablets Sony has recently launched – the Sony Tablet S1 and the Sony Tablet S2 – the S1 is the more conservative. There's no double screen
No clamshell design
Just a regular single display. At 9.4 inches
It's a slightly unusual size
Proving notably smaller than the 9.7-inch Apple iPad 2. The screen may be smaller
But it's also very sharp
With a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels

Poor cameras
Consistent Wi-Fi problems
Hobbled Reader app
Moronic SD card issues
Underpowered in the face of quadcore competition
Screen could be brighter
Not the latest version of Android
Lack of Apps
Media problems
Not as slick as iPad 2
Unfortunately
The Sony Tablet S1 doesn't offer the build quality we were hoping for. It's an entirely plastic affair
And feels a lot cheaper in the hands than an Apple iPad 2. It also feels cheaper than other tablets
Such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Screen is good but can't quite match the best tablets out there
PS1 games are just plain ugly
Plastic finish / 1080p playback glitches
Speakers aren't positioned very well
No USB charging connector / No HDMI interface
Sony content still finding its feet
AV performance doesn't match the best
Disappointing speakers and apps
Unimpressive snapper
Smaller display
Touchscreen sluggish at times
Sony's entertainment services are baffling and over-expensive
Coollooking design
But not the most practical for handling
Proprietary connector
Video Unlimited
Little choice and not much HD
Sony may have gone overboard on the exclusive apps
12
Bad camera sensor
Not Full HD
Sounds a touch soft
Clunky web browsing
Full HD would be nice
Not the most powerful tablet out there
Build materials lack flair considering the asking price and the choice of a 9.4in screen and tinny speakers undermine its media credibility.

The most obvious rival to the Xperia Tablet S is Samsung's 10in, S-Pen toting Galaxy Note 10.1 . But compared to Sony's smooth and sexy aluminium effort, the build quality now seems disappointing and we prefer the Xperia's more open, free-for-all stance ...
