Guys, I hope you'll also be taking a look at Sony's new e-reader. No matter how good a display is, eInk is still far easier on the eyes when it comes to reading on it for extended periods.

Regarding the memory card, can you confirm that you can play videos and music from the memory card? I'm contemplating getting the 32GB or 16GB, but if I can play videos (films etc) direct from the memory card, then I think I'll go for the 16GB.

Sony really need to take a leaf out of Amazon's book and price this table significantly lower than the competition and then make the money back on the unique content that they can provide. If they did that they would have a winner on their hands.

"The relentless advance of touchscreen technology has brought many advantages to the tech world" ... well ..., sorry, but i don't see any advance in touchscreens, just companies fooling customers and earning big money by giving them bad and lagging behind technology.

Chaps, no mention at all of the S's abilities as a universal remote. Surely one of it's most appealing/stand-out built in features? Plus, I'd really like to know (and can't seem to find out anywhere online) if the S can control a PS3 using it's remote software.

@Ed+Gordon394
I meant in touchscreens area. Anyway, english is not my native language, i don't even have any certificate, i learned it by myself.
My issue is that touchscreens today are garbage. It's pretty obvious that they influence technology, but not for the better. I wouldn't bet my life on them. They are completely unreliable.

I have had a look at these a couple of times and I cant help thinking that it both looks and feels cheap and nasty compared to other tablets.

Needs to be priced sub £200 to sell IMO.

Sony has taken its time to enter the tablet race and the Sony Tablet S shows the company has learnt from many of the mistakes made by its rivals and worked hard to integrate worthwhile differentiators. This effort is largely successful and while PlayStation conversions and Sony's Music and Video Unlimited services are only in their infancy this should bear substantial fruit in time. Certainly the Tablet S isn't without its faults. Connectivity options feel different largely for the sake of it and Sony still can't resist dipping into proprietary ports, but the practical wedge styling should attract a loyal following. For those who want a tablet which stands out from the pack the Tablet S will prove a sound investment.
