Sony SGPT111US/S Android Honeycomb Tablet 16GB Wi-Fi Bluetooth Review
I purchased my 16GB Tablet S through the Sony store when they were offering a bundle deal just before Christmas. The tablet is light in your hands, and the shape of it fits comfortably in one hand. At 9.4 inches the screen is about .7 inches smaller than a Xoom but the same resolution. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the unique design works. In contrast my brother's iPad, with it's nice looking aluminum case feels more substantial, but uncomfortable. Each person is different so I'm sure there are folks that will say it's not.
The Tablet S comes preloaded with an assortment of apps that I found to be quite useful. The tablet has a built-in infrared transceiver, and the universal remote app works well. I was able to configure it to control my TV, receiver, and satellite box in 5 minutes. My favorite app is the DLNA app. This allows you to talk to other DLNA devices like your Windows media server or your television. Similar to AirPlay on Apple iOS and AllShare on Samsung devices. I can select a video on the media server, my daughter's birthday party for example, and tell it to "throw" it to the television. The television starts displaying the video streaming from the Windows server, and I can then use the universal remote app to control volume and other things, all from the tablet.
Sony advertises this tablet as Playstation Certified. I downloaded 5 free playstation games with the bundle deal from the Playstation store; there are only 10-12 games available at the time of this writing. They are all Playstation 1 titles from the late 90's. However many of them still put the current selection of Android games to shame. You are able to use your PS3 wireless controller with this tablet. After syncing with the required USB adapter, the controller can then be used wirelessly. This works with the playstation games and other games you have. I am looking forward to more Playstation features on this tablet, like more games and PS3 Remote Play.
There is enough uniqueness to this tablet to make it attractive to many.
