Sony Tablet S
« on: October 15, 2011, 06:31:07 PM »
Bought one today, 32gb wifi model. Have to say, so far very impressed with it. Screen is very sharp, on par with the ipad 2 imo, even better in some respects like the camera. Only bad thing so far is fingerprints show up everywhere but its only noticeable when the screen is showing dark colours like the default blackish background.

Loving PS1 emulation (crash bandicoot woot), rumour has it they will be adding support for the ps3 controller :)

What makes this unique is that it has infrared on it, with the native remote app, been having fun controlling the blu ray player, the tv, the amp, even the sky+ box. Like a universal remote :)

Might not be the most aesthetically pleasing tablet on the market but sony have really gone to town on the ergonomics. Very comfortable to hold, almost feels like im holding a book/magazine when reading on Kindle/Reader. They have also made a few edits to honeycomb making it more intuitive to use.

Oh, and as soon as I connected google account etc, set up wifi connection there was an update to 3.2 available :) Only been out a few weeks and already newer android version :D

Hm... aren't there apps on the market that let you pair with sixaxis controllers?

I must say the one thing I wish my iPad had is an infrared port, I generally have it with me when watching movies/tv so being able to control all the home cinema boxes would be awesome.

Whats it like for performance? Noticed any sluggishness?

Masturbation. Taking matters into your own hands.

Probably, but havent looked into it but I bet it requires root

Nope no sluggishness at all even with ps1 emulator, browser and about 9 other apps running in the background. Flash performs very well and is quite nice to have. Theres a bug atm (with the 3.2 update) which disconnects the wifi as soon as the screen goes off even if you set it not to but im sure there will be a fix in a week or 2 for that
