^And some even thought that the thread would explode after CES announcement, unless they meant 3 pages of explosion.

oh that is really weird, that place it in a really awkward position with the pricing because with the other specs its still very high end, better than nexus 7 so it might be 300+ USD but its can't do phone call so it can't go higher than 600 kind of pricing compare to the 650USD GPE ZU. If they price it at 400, it seems too much for a sub 7" tablet even with premium built quality and materials,not many people want to pay 400 for a small tablet since the existence of nexus 7. Even many Apple fans complains about the new retina mini. If they price is at 300 or 350 is might be more reasonable but it will make the ZU looks bad as all the specs are almost identical but cost twice as much.... Not many would be willing to pay 300-350 as long as the Nexus 7 exist either.

If you ask me, it is dead on arrival, with cheaper tablets out there which basically do the same thing and are bigger and not an awkward size. Battery is also smaller than the LG tab 8.3 (4600 mAh) and nexus 7 (3950 mAh), with both devices sporting slightly higher res screens 1200 x 1920, minor difference though. The ZU only has a 3050 mAh batter, smaller screen sure but not sure much smaller than the Nexus 7 which has a larger battery.
Only thing the ZU has over the other 2 is the CPU, IP58, and super thin, otherwise since it is skinned, it will not receive updates as fast as the nexus 7, unless the wifi only ZU comes as a GPE edition?
Anything over 249 US, will kill this device.

Sony can't go at a loss on it, so the price IMO won't be that low.
Afterall it is a premium device as far as build quality is concerned (materials), element proofing and powerful hardware.
Was kinda waiting on it...glad to see it's close to announcement.

Yeah craftmanship is probably the selling point, screen might get a thumbs up for triluminos color, sure a 16:10 is the best screen aspect ratio for tablet but for watching video its a great deal. 300 is probably the max I would pay for, but then I look at the ZU which is basically the same thing but also a phone the 650 price tag on the ZU just looks silly. Pricing it at 300 also means a very small mark up, not sure if its even worth the time or investment, at 350 or 400, the gap would be too big from the competitors most people won't even give it a chacne. I think they might as well put all the resources on Tablet Z2 and go big. Though this could be a way to clear out their old parts supply from the ZU I guess, selling it for cheap, the ZU probably under perform for its ridiculas size.
