This is good news, depending on the price of the small tablet, I may pick it up, but I will wait for the ifa press conference, from what I know, Sony has 2 new walkmans coming as well and I'd rather spend my money on these than a tablet for the time being.

I think Z3 is sony desperation of gaining some sales back from the miss opportunity of Z2 due to the delay. They want it out as fast as possible and available for US for more carrier.

Sony will announce three devices at IFA. Xperia Z3 and Z3 compact and an 8" tablet. All will have the same internals and design.
All 3 should release the last week of September in most European markets. In the US the Z3 will come to Verizon and the release date will be decided by Verizon.(The device is tested and ready for production) Z3 compact will be sold unlocked in the US and it is supposed to have CDMA support.
No Smartwatch 3?

So Z3, Compact and 8"Tablet will have: SD801 (2.4GHz x4), Adreno 330, 3GB/16GB, 20.7MP/2.1MP, KK 4.4.4.
What about resolution and size of Z3 Compact? 4.5" 720p or 4.6" 1080p?

I can see the Z3C getting the 20MP camera but the 8 inch tablet? Would be nice if it did, but I feel they will go with the same camera that is on the Z2 tablet.

The 20MP camera on an 8" Sony tablet would totally make sense, since Sony is not aiming at the budget tablet market. There are a bunch of cheap 7" and 8" tablets out there and to justify a premium price point you need "outstanding" specs like water-resitant chasing, beautiful design...and an outstanding camera like that 20MP one from Sony. These days I often see people taking photos with their tablets (looks kinda weird) so it wouldn't be absurd to install a great camera on a premium portable 8" tablet. I wouldn't even be surprised if you would be able to make phone calls with that tablet using a headset.

With ~2% market share, yes sure they should release a WP hs, why not, they have nothing to loose and potentialy alot to gain, especially in Europe.
http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2335616 granted it's 2012 and less than 2%, but really I doubt we are talking about any substantial increase by 2014 to justify me giving a single f*ck about searching for newer numbers. Besides, in the US it's nonexistent at all, so yeah, who cares about the largest market for high-end smartphones in the world.
Now feel free to cry me a river, couz I really can't care less
Edit: here is nov 2013, they did a little better withon android ecosystem, I give you that
http://cdn.bgr.com/2013/11/global-android-share.png Still that blue area on the right, yeah the blue one, it should make sony fans sad, real sad...
Disclaimer, I'm a long-time sony fan, who would never buy any Korean-branded product for myself, for political reasons.

You're right in that you had no credibility to begin with. Doesn't change how wrong you are.
Sony needs to release a WP handset to become relevant?
Sony has less than 2% of the android phone market?
Do you have proof of this, or are you just chatting shit?

Look at the tab z2, outstanding specs, etc etc, but at 6.4mm you get a shitty camera and no flash. If sony goes this route for the smaller tablet, and makes it as thin if not thinner, then I wouldn't bet on the 20MP sensor fitting into it, let alone anything decent.

I think Sony might release a WP device once they feel like the OS is in fact ready for "prime time" .. there is no reason to "beta" test for Microsoft who bought Nokia to do that with anyway.. Sony might as well wait until the OS is a bit more mature before investing.
And then we have the whole PS vs. Xbox bs... can't have a Sony WP that doesn't integrate with PS4 to a certain extend, but does with XBOX out of the box..
