@moogoo
The pixel density is better than the Note 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, which I believe are two of the more popular android 10 inchers.

Most 10" tabs except the Nexus 10 and iPad have 1280x800. The Nexus is double that, the iPad is not far behind.

The Tablet Z is exactly in the middle at 1920x1200.

I don't think the resolution on this is not bad in any way. It's not truly market leading, but is more than adequate and the design makes up for it.

Waiting for the official word of global release on this is what's really putting me in a tight spot. I was all-in for getting a Nexus 10, just waiting for stock at my dealer, but now I want to wait to for Tablet Z and having to wait might put me out at work. The timing of the release is absolutely critical to me buying it or not.

If anyone knows anyone who can get one for me ahead of schedule I'm willing to pay, so long as it is a full production unit and not a development unit that won't be upgradable. PM me.

6000mAh battery on a 10" tablet with a 1200x1920 (224ppi) display??? Will that be enough juice for it? The iPad4 with 9.7inch 1536x2048 (264ppi) display (slightly higher resolution and PPI than Xperia Tablet Z) has a 11,560mAh battery, that's near DOUBLE the capacity. I understand that the iPad4 has a far more powerful CPU/GPU set so it may demand more power but it can't demand that much more juice than the S4Pro in Xperia Tablet Z, and the Tablet Z has a larger display to power, as well as a 2GB RAM chip and Android which requires more resources than iOS.

I put my iPad4 through some very hard use, with a ton of web browsing, reading newspapers, magazines, Im always on Facebook/Bloomberg/Twitter, I play music on and off from it when I gym, and the odd bit of YouTube, this is on a daily basis, with that usage it has around 40% battery by the time I go to bed at midnight, if I did the same with the Tablet Z I wonder if it would make it to midnight.

Didn't realize Sony had compromised so much on the battery, I'm quite shocked as us tablet users have become so spoilt by the long battery life these things give, my Galaxy Tab10.1 has a 7000mAh battery and that's with a 1280x800 res display. The Nexus10 has a 9000mAh battery and that's with a 2560x1600 (299ppi) display, I wonder if 6000mAh maybe too little for the Tablet Z.

@RickyD..

i hear ya man. I didn't say it was bad resolution. As you said, it is right in the middle with only the nexus 10 and ipad retina having better resolution. I was just trying to say that if Sony really wants to make a splash in the tablet world after a fairly poor showing with the Tablet S, they should have pumped out a device that was maxed out on virtually every level and added the water resistance and sexy design on top of that.

that being said, if i were in the market for a tablet, the resolution would not bother me so much. what i would worry about much more is the battery capacity.

luckily, i don't have to think about such decisions since i'll never be a tablet user

I'm dying here waiting for this. More excited than any other gadget release since Aino (one of the best most underrated old SE handsets).

I'm becoming obsessed and twice refreshing pages for my local electronics market in the hope that a price and availability appears.

I'm also wondering if Sony will fill the space where the antenna is for global release. A stylus would be nice, but unlikely, extra battery would be nice, but unlikely. I guess they won't put anything there which is a shame really.

Does anyone know if this will have microUSB or some sort of proprietary connector?
