It's just weird that the E1 was just announced and there's already an E2.

Maybe it's the E1 and E1-dual?
A bit sad VAIO is being sold off though, still love my old VAIO Z. It was marvelous, before ultrabooks came out on the market.
Would like to see higher res on the new tablet Z since it helps text, but S805 only has 40% higher gpu power than the S800, not sure if it is powerful enough to push a higher res display smoothly? If still using S800, maybe 1080p is still better...
I do hope the new tablet Z has front facing speakers though, now I need it to put it in a stand so that sound is reflected forwards from the side speakers.

Any of the new tablets will run win 8?
Also what about the Win Phone rumors from some time ago, is it now dead with the vaio line?
The Japan-based site ASCII reports that, according to a statement from Hirai,
"Microsoft has various OSes, including mobile. So, as Sony, we will consider new product development going forward."
We might get a phone or a tablet at some point..

Unless Microsoft combines windows mobile and desktop windows in the future, I would not hope out for a vaio windows tablet from Sony, that died with the vaio's sale. Unless Sony will roll out a windows tablet (

according to rency_0722
Shutter priority and aperture priority will be added soon, according to the press release of Z1. As of now, no news yet has been circulating regarding those.
I'm seeing LG G Pro 2 release with such feature.
Edit, I'm guessing the codec for the 4K video is still 264? Btw the note 3 seems to cap the 4k video at 5 min, wonder if this will also be present in the Z1.
