Quote:Sony's hosting a press event in Tokyo today where it just made the first announcement: a pair of Android 3.0 tablets -- yes, the very two Honeycomb slabs wee told you about exclusively back in February. The first is the Qriocity-focused 9.4-inch S1 media tablet with both front- and rear-facing cameras and a curved wrap design that resembles a folded magazine. The S1 features a Tegra 2 SoC and customized "Quick and Smooth" touch panel UI with "Swift" web browser. It can also be used as a remote control for Sony gear thanks to integrated infrared.

The second tablet is the dual-screen S2 clamshell with its pair of 5.5-inch 1,024 x 480 pixel displays, Tegra 2 SoC, and camera. While it sounds bulky, Kunimasa Suzuki just pulled the hinged tablet from his jacket pocket on stage. Sony takes advantage of the two screens with a custom book-style UI layout for its e-reader app, split keyboard and messaging displays for email, and split display and game controllers for PS One gaming. Both the S1 and S2 are PlayStation Certified, support DLNA, and are WiFi and 3G/4G "compatible" according to Sony. See the Sony tablets codenamed "S1" and "S2" in action after the break on their way to a global release in the fall -- possibly sooner in the US.

P.S. While the company isn't ready to talk prices yet, our sources told us back in February that Sony was considering a $599 MSRP on the S1 while the S2 would likely come in at $699. Still no word on the Windows 7 slider but with the other two leaks official, it's now only a matter of time.

Single screen>> yes :)
Dual Screen>> No!!

I like the idea of the dual screens. You can fold it and put it in you pocket.  If the seam between the 2 screens was much smaller I might get. They should make the seam smaller so when its unfolded it would look like one screen.

I don't like the overall design of the dual-screen,.

possibility to use as a sony remote :) for my Blu-rays on the PS3 :)

PlayStation Certified, DLNA. Fuck yeah.

Edit: Might not resist the Asus Transformer though I'm afraid.

I'd get the dual screen only because it fits into a pocket more easily though it's not like even if folded it doesn't look like it'll fit that easily.
