The stylish Sony Tablet S introduced back in September last year, is now available for a discounted price through the official website. The manufacturer has reduced the prices of both, the 16GB and the 32GB versions of the tablet by $100.
As Engadget says, the company seems to have introduced a new pricing strategy to accelerate sales in the new year. Measuring 9.5 x 6.8 x 0.3 inches, the device tips the scale at less than 600 grams. The front panel of the tablet dons a 9.4-inch multi-touch display that renders visuals in 1280 x 800p resolution. Based on the Google Android Honeycomb platform, it acquires multitasking properties from the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
Besides a 5MP rear facing camera, the tab is equipped with a 0.3MP front facing snapper that allows users to engage in video conferencing over the internet. Featuring the IR remote control function, the Tablet S comes with a full size SD card slot to facilitate media exchange. The wireless communication options are inclusive of Bluetooth version 2.1 + EDR as well as IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, while it can be connected to audio peripherals and other systems by means of its headphone jack and microUSB port.
The slab draws power from a 5000mAh Li-ion battery which is said to be capable of coughing up the juice for about 8 hours. Needless to say, users can gain access to the Android Market to browse through thousands of applications. And it also tags along various Google Mobile services such as Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, Google Talk and many more.
The Sony Tablet S prices for the 16GB and 32GB variants are $399.99 (approx. Rs. 21,315) and $499.99 (approx. Rs. 26,645), respectively.
