The Sony Xperia Tablet S has a comfortable, high-quality design, a sharp-looking screen, storage expansion, and potential as a universal remote alternative
Unfortunately Wi-Fi currently shuts off whenever the tablet sleeps, waking the tablet from sleep takes way too long, and its screen flickers intermittently. Price is a bit high for what's offered
The Xperia Tablet S has an excellent design, but there are cheaper alternatives that provide similar and better tablet experiences....
Good hardware is nothing without solid software these days. We can't recommend the Xperia Tablet S until Sony gets the software right — especially the Wi-Fi issues. This could be such a capable and fantastic device, but it had its brains scrambled at birt...
Abstract: The Sony Tablet S has recently received the Android 4.0 ICS update, so we thought it a good idea to do a full review of the device. While this device first came out in the latter part of 2011, it works just a smooth as any 2012 tab. It may not have the fa...

Unique style, comfortable to hold and use, Can be used as an IR remote, Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services

Unique design; Very speedy; Nice customisation of Google's Android Honeycomb OS; Universal remote control for home theatre environments;
Proprietary charging port; Rear camera lacks flash; Some apps and functionality can be buggy;
While it lacks the thin design and build quality of Apple's slate, Sony's debut tablet is a nice implementation of Android that works a treat as a universal controller for your home entertainment system.There's no 3G option or a camera flash, so the story...
Distinctive and comfortable design, Some handy exclusive apps, Good battery life
Build quality, Web browser performance
Sony has put a lot of work into the Tablet S and it definitely shows: its the most comfortable Android tablet to hold and use. It also bundles some exclusive, nifty apps that you won't find on any other tablet. We wish the screen was brighter, build quali...

Abstract: Video review: So the great Android tablet invasion didn't quite go to plan. Who would have thought that, if you line up a barrage of iPad competitors that look pretty much identical to Apple's model except not quite as polished, people would just buy iPads? Adv...
