"Sony is one of the few electronic manufactures which has not released a table."

So which electronic manufactures released a "table"?

LOL

Very nice devices but I'm trying to weigh up if I would rather have this or a laptop.

The only Pro's I can see are apps and portability but I'm definitely gonna try the S1 when it surfaces.

Had a play with one of these in the Sony Store yesterday - very nice to hold, the magazine design really makes it a lot easier to handle. I thought the screen could be brighter but that might just be the settings, however, all in all I was impressed.

The 3G version will be available well before Christmas I was told.

As a Galaxy Tab10.1v user for the past 3months or so ill tell you now, this will NOT replace a laptop, my mother made the same mistake when getting her iPad, she thought she wouldn't need her laptop and gave it away, she's now bought another one.

These tablets can't replace a fully blown desktop OS that you get in a laptop, BUT they are a fantastic go-between your smartphone and laptop, I use my laptop a lot less now, only use it for uni assignments and backing up media, the tablet is used for web browsing, movies, music, social networking and reading books, when I'm at home, the phone works as an extension of my tablet when I'm at home, then when I'm out I use it for browsing etc...when I don't have my tablet with me.
Great thing about these tablets is the incredible battery life they give, my smartphone and latop put together couldn't last as long as my tab, it is just amazing battery life, two days of hard use is what I get.

I'd say go for it, but don't expect it to total replace your laptop.

This Sony was nice but I have played with a few tablets & some tend to lag quite a bit
