$399? i could buy 2 nexus 7 with that
that keyboard looks awfully ugly…and unstable…
$399 for a Sony Tablet?
Sony can not make good tablet
Copying Microsoft with that keyboard case.
And failing terribly at it to!
A $99 case. A case that looks like it’d fall over if you’re travelling in any moving vehicle, hoping to do some work. It looks like the designers have said “Well, it stands up if you put it like *this*. So that’s good enough.” Definitely doesn’t look sturdy.
These are relatively different tablets dude.
Yes 2 8gb tablets. Good luck with that. With this you get 16gb + upto 128gb extra via sd card at an additional 100$. Basically, 500$ for a 136gb tablet. With better looks, screen and camera.
It was leaked before surface was announced btw. And its releasing before surface. How is it a copy then :S
But Microsoft surface is better.
Sony needs to realize they aren’t apple and cut down on prices if they want to survive
With Windows8 and WindowsRT I wonder who will want to keep using this laggy android tablets! They are so limited!
very clever huh? if it has apple logo they will call it game changer, revolutionary, magical or whatever exaggerated words they can come up with. thank you the verge.
Seems like a bad Surface rip-off, it looks so cheap. You can tell Sony threw this idea together at the last minute.
Doesn’t look very stable while propped up ..
Surface 😀
I hate this new thumbs up symbol.
Guest mode is super useful
The verge guy looks disappointed that this Sony Product is actually pretty good.
Woeful screen resolution. ASUS and Apple (more-so) have already upped the ante. What the the frig are you doing, Sony?
Im gonna buy this.
actually improving display technology… not just jamming pixels and saying that is all that matters
with 8 gb each… that actually you can only use 5 to storage and 1.5 to apps
still better value than this
he’s wearing apple’s national pattern (i.e. the plaid) how else should he feel? I bet you he makes good frappucinos as well
N1
no, no usb to go, no expansion storage, a medium to high display quality, no hdmi, no ir sensor, no splash proof, no stereo speaker, no rear camera, and no cmos front camera, small storage
that you prefer 2 nexus 7 doesnt mean that is better value, all the extras that offers the xperia tablet are better value, because no matter how much you try, you can expand the nexus memory, or use hdmi, or take a decent picture etc etc
On the other side..
Nexus 7 uses android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box with project butter
It uses Pure, Light weight stock android UI unlike the resource-heavy Timescape UI of Sony
and considering the load of Sony’s bloatware running on the RAM,
even though both the devices run at the same resolution despite their sizes(1280x800) and have the same processor(Tegra3) and same processor speed (1.3GHz)
Xperia Tablet won’t be fast as the Nexus 7 even after getting Jelly Bean’s Project Butter..
P.S
The unsolved camera compression issue of Xperia Phones is still there..
The xperia have the second version of the tegra 3 with a more speed CPU and GPU and support for more responsive ddr3 memory. You are right that jellybean out of the box is good but the limited storage and the fact that have lower quality hardware in every single aspect made don’t made nexus 7 better that the xperia… when the nexus 7 comes out I was thinking in getting. But all of the nerfed qualities that have make me wait for something better. And this. The xperia tablet s is better
no, that was corrected in ice cream sandwich, and if you ask me i liked so much that … a 2.30 mb photo compressed to 130 kb and just losing some info… was just great… in a mobile device, the compression is better than conteining complex raw photos… and… that is about phones… this is a new tablet no a phone
Xperia Tablet is better than the Nexus 7, But those features you mentioned are not 200$ better..
No it wasn’t corrected completely.
and I don’t know who you are but seriously most people uses 16GB SD cards nowadays, 2.30MB per photo is nothing, there’s no need for compression, Nokia’s have 5MB per pic.
I don’t think you have seen the severity of the problem, Sony markets their Xperias as HD Camera Phones, I simply bought mine(Arc) for the camera, But i was disappointed.
Compare photos taken by any latest 8MP smartphones and see the damage the compression has done..You won’t believe it..
of course they are, thats why people buy ipad, transformer, galaxy tab 10.1,tablet s
because large storage and screen, hdmi, sd. rear camera are worthed the 499 and even 599
if you like games, the 199 nexus only storage like 3 to 5 HD games, without music, videos, documents etc
you like movies, only storage 3 to 5 HD movies and 2 full HD movies
the price for a nexus is good, but a price for xperia tablet is also good, that you prefer cheap and limited, doesnt mean is better value than the xperia
yeah because you are comparing 2011sensor to a 2012 sensor, if you see the xperia p 8 megapixel sensor you can see that is a huge difference between them too, but for that time the arc was the first gadget to show a 8 megapixel sensor backiluminated… of course fot today standarts is old, but if you see reviews about xperia arc camera vs other phone in his times, the arc win all of them
(second comment)
the same happen to the xperia s and p, they are compared to the super powerful image sense of the htc one series, and in general s and p got better reviews
the only thing i need to say about camera sensor is that, iphone, samsung and others oem use sony sensors in they smartphones
This is definitely shaping up to be a major windows come back as the leader of tech
but STILL the specs is better than nexus 7 and because nexus 7 has jelly bean,i also gonna get nexus 7,but this has water proof and durability function
why would you buy 2 bins?
@juanfdo82465 ya but its 7 inchesvthatsvwhy I sold mine
Is there still issues with the wifi
Nexus 7 you can not even compare because it is much worse.
Even the Samsung Galaxy Tab or the Note can not be compared
I’d rather give you $ 200 more but I have a very good tablet and also higher than the Nexus 7 “.
Samsung’s too expensive for what it offers
its alot more expensive then the nexus 7, you get what you pay for.…..
that’s very cheap and I’m not being sarcastic…
Another failed android tablet… what you know!!
