one of the slides really shows off what sony tablets are all about (dont know which number but the one with the comparative yes/no charts)...the other android tablets out there simply do not have the entertainment network that sony has and they should heavily invest in to compete with itunes. An android tablet that can't listen to new songs, download videos or ebooks is essentially useless...that why i think android has failed in the tablet space...until now...

sony's offering will be awesome...it will have everything it needs to compete with itunes matched with a design that is the best out there bar none. tablet s design is amazing, all it needed was a spec boost which i hope tegra3 will be able to hold up...now all i need to know is what windows 8 offering sony has up their sleeve so i can freaking choose and xperia tablet or a vaio tablet!

The annoying thing is that Sony don't integrate their technologies into Windows PCs (whether they can't, or are worried about it being hacked and put onto other PCs isn't quite known)

If they announced a Windows 8 tablet with the iR port, Walkman audio equipment, Bravia engine etc I'd probably camp out at the Sony store until they release. Instead the only advantage they have over other products is the design.

That has changed a little as of late with the new L Series VAIO having a Reality Engine built in as well as the appearance of audio enhancement technologies for the loudspeakers but I'm hoping for a little more than that.

I think it would be awesome if they could dual-boot Android as well but that is incredibly unlikely.

Well a Windows based tablet seems to be on the way from Sony, so maybe it'll fulfill your wishes. I will say this, if the Windows tablet is anything like this one, then I'm probably going to have a hard time deciding which one to get.

I'd also like to say congrats to Sony on the accessory front! My biggest gripe with the Tablet S was the puny selection of accessories, and their generic nature. The accessories we're seeing here look amazing! And these are only launch items, we'll likely see more stuff down the road.

This shows how fluid project butter has made Android. Brilliant!

@Indiandawg that isn't actually Jelly Bean but rather a few JB apps ported to ICS to give the appearance of JB.

I seriously hope this is not true. Xperia ray has been sold very well and it makes no sense for Sony not to bring something new to continue its presence on the market.

It's got more to do with the S4 chip shortage more than anything else.

The Tablet S2 or whatever it's going to be called will be a lovely sequel. About the SX: I am sorry to hear that and it would be a pity, because small high-end phones are a rarity.

@randomuser, qualcomm said it will fix this shortage in early 2013, I think if SX won't be launched this year it can be launched in 1Q13 and still a high-end...

Yeah Im pretty gutted about this too. All I wanted from Sony was either a newer (and slimmer) qwerty, or a nice middle-sized phone with decent feature set. But no Mini Pro replacement and no Ray replacement, so I'm screwed!

Looks like I'm gonna have to ditch Sony from now on!
