Sony Tablet S Review

[8013336]

do NOT GET THIS tab it SUCKS

[blazzer1995]

when you turn on a sony you cant help but turn it off

[plindsey3]

I've had the Sony Tablet S for a while now. Loaded a bunch of Android apps on it, they all work. Uses SD card, which is a plus in my opinion. Problem? The antenna's range is quite limited. Meanwhile, the iPad's I've used from work connect to any open WiFi signal we need. I WILL be heading to the store for the iPad 3 when it comes out.

[edftwin]

next time, use manual focus on your video cam.

[X3BOOODYX2012]

If this tablet was on the level, I'll buy it and install Windows 8 on it...

[alexanderthegreat447]

ipad 2 and samsung galaxy tab 7.7 are much better and this comes from a sony fanboy but I still wait for ipad 3 ;)

[mrdiamondback1]

@alexanderthegreat447 tell me what you can do with an ipad 2 or 3 that yo ucant do on this? You are just a kid, you dont know anything yet.

[ItsCrobar]

Get an ipad

[Apple1Mark]

apps are free??

please replyy i need to choose between ipad and sony tablet s

[abbyfan4ever]

Some people said it has some issues with WIFI connection.. is it true?

[desfletc]

the guy who designed this piece of shit caseing deserves a hefty kick in the crutch, it LOOKS cheap and tacky fucksakes, bits of plastic that aint going to last, the plastic cover for the SD card slot, how longs that gonna last,

[therazor0411]

*on it and harddisks ??

[therazor0411]

Can you Play PS3 Games on

[sasecapuera]

[SFO14]

[0312160]

OMG.. ur review drive me crazy

[oopsbabyhung4]

the thing that i have against the ipad it's that: it's a freaking oversized ipod. that's it, in fact I don't like appel that much, the only thing I'd like to have from them is an ipod classic, not an ipod touch or an iphone. and Ipod classic! for music only

[JakkSpeedCuber]

EPICGAME101

[saa7200]

the Review is good but for Future Video use Manual Focus for pro Video and people smoothly watch your Video

[505kingkong]

[Painkiller10538]

@505kingkong soo funny lol

[invy951]

I believe the word your looking for at 1:58 is called a "Wedged design"...

[Person395]

@invy951 This comment deserves more thumbs up :L

[Giorgijangirashvili]

how dare you dont be good at crush??

[DBSpy1]

Android Market,HDMI,You Tube,Netflix?

[pnshetty]

it cant do a thing but it does the job :P

[TheAcebaby24]

13:49 hell

[DudeLovinU]

your auto focus rocks!! lol

[Cyclotrimethelene]

1280x800 is actually a 16:10 aspect ratio, not 16:9.

[IronNeoxZ]

better buy Vita this this Shit !... -,-

[AlvinGLD98]

Different than any tablet... The best tablet ever!!

[neider114]

dont tell me this guy gets payed to write these lame ass reviews....i could do better

[shootoed]

This is the least laggy of the android tablets.

[dallascowboysfan1990]

Can u play ps1 games on it

[ironman1997913]

@dallascowboysfan1990 yes you can

[dallascowboysfan1990]

Do u recommend buying it

[KingofWWESpoilers]

What the hell is wrong with your cameras focus?

[erockz69]

damnnnn its really nice gadget

[Aldaaaaaaaa]

i can see your potatoe ^^

[Gandharpn]

dude review is ok

but focus and QUALITY OF YOUR HANDYCAM SUCKS!!!

[Johonywuzhere]

I love this tablet, I bought one for my Birthday in September and it's amazing. I love how I can hook up a PS3 controller for it, the screens great, PS1 games are awesome, holding it feels better than any other tablet on the market. Also the Social Feed Reader is pretty sweet and as well as the remote control apps. The browser is super quick too. I highly recommend this to people who aren't sure about what tab they should get it, it's design is great as well.

[yourtube1234567]

@Johonywuzhere

Can I download movies off my computer to this tablet and watch it ?

And does it reads PDF files and reads Ebooks/PDF aloud?

[ZLew02]

use manual focus next time...so the camera wont seek so much

[BruceLeeKick2TheFace]

On second thought maybe ill buy the ipad3 when it comes out and just but the tablet S to use as a remote.

[BruceLeeKick2TheFace]

I cant believe you cant play crash bandicoot. Does anyone know if there will be like a sony cloud? where you can do stuff between the ps3, Psv( or psp) Tv, Laptop/computer or Phone?

[UnendingGameplay]

High quality parts my ass, good one man

[infinitesporkage]

@myownmedia I agree, I'd love the option of a 7 inch tablet. I like my iPad (1st generation, so even heavier!) but I'd love a 7 inch model for work.

[guyaneseDJ13]

I have a choice of any tablet for my birthday and right now it's down to this, the Asus Transformer Prime and the next gen. iPad.

[qpmkro]

@guyaneseDJ13 just sold my galaxy tab 10.1 and now i'm waiting for the ipad 3 to come up, i wonder how the 10" retina display will look

[djtechs345]

@guyaneseDJ13 dude same here what you getting

im actually down to the acer a 500 and the transformer prime

[guyaneseDJ13]

@djtechs345 The Transformer Prime has some amazing specs which is really attracting me, you should check it out. But i like the design of the Sony S and i like how it's PlayStation certified.

[marinconstantinful]

it"s my tablet :))

[Scarywesley4]

That rope thingy is called a Lanyard. Thumbs down for you!

[copythat7]

Can I transfer videos from a USB drive?

[ramzkhaja]

gr8 review -- flaw: the focus irritates a lot.

[1skeeta4u]

I'll wait for the Google tablet

[2jsinmorning]

ive been playing all ps1 games since galaxy s came out, yes i play it on my phone with my bluetooth gamepad, idk why ppl find it shocking to play ps on here

[asianoutcast87]

Just waiting for dem windows 8 tablets so I can actually do real work.......

[trey9386]

@icihowi .....idk what ur point is. Ok Steve Jobs has died and is in a better place. I believe I state my opinion before and if u don't like it then suck my apple dick. Quit being a hater and get a life.

[trey9386]

@icihowi

[lachter786]

Apple sucks, go Sony!

[infinitesporkage]

@lachter786 If either company "sucks" it would have to be Sony. Just have a look at their trade history for the past decade. In key areas like their TV range they've been losing money whereas Apple has been seeing good growth. It's silly to say either company sucks, though, I quite like both and hope they stay around for a long time.

[lachter786]

@infinitesporkag sorry to say but I really don't like apple, I am supporting android;)

[infinitesporkage]

@lachter786 No need to apologise, but you don't appear to get it. To me it's not Apple vs the Android platforms. I just go for the device I prefer and I've yet to try an Android tablet that I prefer over the iPad. I don't like the iPad because Apple made it and I don't dislike Android because it's not made by Apple. I'm not a huge fan of Apple as a company but you have to admit they've done a good job with the iPad.

[lachter786]

@infinitesporkage yes ofcourse, i think steve jobs is a Genius making the iphone and ipad etc, i do not like his desings he made, i think everyone prefer for the device he likes, but i think that the android devices are much better.

[KissChad]

Im glad I bought this. Wtf do i need an ipad for if i have an iphone.

[Milad010180]

This is a crap......

[Milad010180]

Ipad is still the best.......

[SaHaRa3488]

11:20 classic Sony for me.

[SaHaRa3488]

haha I bet you were very annoyed trying to put that back cover back on at 2:32

[jimmey303]

i am def a sony guy lol

[m6rees]

Wi-Fi only ??

wtf ?

[iamtomalmond]

@m6rees Every tablet has a Wifi only version for people who want to save money :)

[alaissa1000]

apple is the king im sory sony the tab is crab

[alaissa1000]

ass tab im sory sony this is ass

[CharlesM505]

The thing is this: as I have an Iphone and Mac, i have apps already, itunes etc so its easier and i prefer the Ipad anyway so basically sadly, apple 4 life for me <3

[PhantomAct]

The UI looks really gay. Does it offer browser Flash plugin b'coz iPad doesn't but it still plays Youtube.

[Blacktolite]

God Damn dude focus the Damn camera fuckkkkkkk

[Torlodor]

@Blacktolite bööööööööüüüüüüüüüüüüüğğğğğğğğ­ğğğğğğğğğğğşşşşşşşşşşşşşçççççç­ççççççç

[badty555]

CAMERA FOCUS

! >.<

[BradFiasco]

This seems rather laggy?

[infinitesporkage]

@BradFiasco Welcome to Android. This is definitely one of the better devices which is sort of sad in a way. This is the biggest issue that prevents me from buying an Android tablet. They're great on paper but when you pick one up and try it you sort of wonder where all the awesome power is actually going. I don't care about new snazzy features, just give me a tablet that works smoothly. Hence, the iPad. People who disagree, show me an android tablet running 3.0 as smooth as the iPad runs iOS.

[secondbasepitcher]

the greatest tablet overall is the ipad 2 theres no doubt but it all comes down to what you need and what you need it for, for me the main difference between the ipad and the sony tablet is that the ipad is more entertaining, it has a lot of apps and lots of stuff to do and the sony seems to be more professional like for work or school and stuff like that, thats what i think

[Nacho1995Nico88]

Im tossing up between this or an ipad 2, what should i get? and i do like gaming

[jvaldez97]

@Nacho1995Nico88 without a doubt an ipad 2, the ipad 2 has 10 hours of battery and a bunch of apps has more apps than any other tablet out there

[infinitesporkage]

@Nacho1995Nico88 I'd give the iPad 2 a try mainly because in most countries Apple will let you return it within 14 days (even if opened) so you can give it a try. If it's not for you then you should definitely consider this tablet. It's probably my favourite of all android tablets.

[ipwnn00bs117]

YEAH! Crash Bandicoot! buying it. lol

[pcpancake]

Great Video Sir - Thanks

[Ishibashizan]

My eyes. O.O

[racsrk]

LOL..sony's first joke ..

[ShoutMeTech]

Yah I played with it yesterday @India Sony Tablet launch and I was pretty Impressed with the quality and design. Though body could be little better but I guess they used plastic to keep the weight light...

[vazquezisaijgmail]

bad focus

[iveney]

Seriously... failed to put that cap in

[paulograveto]

Hi, a friend of mine offered me one like this, i was wondering where do I write? I'm a student I need a program like Word but it doesn't seem to come with one already... can anyone help me?

[saladitas360]

U sound like the guy from DetroitBorg :)

[thrtytwo]

I don't know why its struggling to focus so bad with all those fingerprints on the screen!

[nippleopolas1]

ok for apple their is like itunes cards to put money on ur account.. is there somthing like tht for this tab?

[zshi1]

hi..2 questions..1) can it connect to a projector. 2) Does it has FM modulator feature?

[4256Conroy]

This or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?

[242v242]

@4256Conroy

Galaxy Tab : thinner, lighter (premium-ish plastic finish), bigger screen, more expensive, no card slot, 3MP rear only camera, longer lasting battery @ 7000mAh

---

Tablet S : thicker, smaller screen (but same resolution so higher ppi), premium finish, has a smoother feel (animations), cheaper, 5MP rear & 0.3MP front cameras, SD card slot available & 5000mAh battery

---

Both use Nvidia Tegra 2 @ 1GHz. So overall, it comes down to price, looks & which features you will use the most.

[bu3ouf91]

@242v242 fk you asshole go die if you dont like it

[Bluntbowz]

@242v242 Ps3 Ugly? Watchu talkin' bout!

[242v242]

@Bluntbowz

We're hardwired to like symmetry. A face with a bigger ear on one side is well...not as pretty as a symmetrical one. Have you seen the Nokia 5220? Asymmetric, therefore ugly

---

(IMO) All I'm saying is, even though Sony makes fantastic hardware (hence why I own a ton of their stuff), they oughta take a page out of Apple's book. Build hardware around a good design, and not the other way around. Point in fact, the Nokia N9 and 800 Lumia. Beautiful phones built from the outside --> in.

[GamingOfSolace]

@242v242 PS3 is not ugly retard who thinks he knows best. FUCK YOU!

[242v242]

@GamingOfSolace

Personal opinions mate. That's why I "IMO" my posts.

And I never said I "know best." If I did, then I'd deduce that you were ugly too :)

[Hollenvaen]

Rope? It's called a lanyard...

[sammyfly101]

horrible focus dude

[theG0BBL3M0NSTER]

This is a great tablet, but this guy is shit at reviewing it

[AJFedora]

Man i regret ever buying my iPad 2

[TylerDLR]

@AJFedora Sell it on Ebay. You still get close to full price for it. Or e-mail me and I'll make you an offer :)

[AJFedora]

@TylerDLR Yeah the resale value on Apple products is pretty high! However i'm selling it to one of my freind for about 400$ Pretty good deal since it's only about a month old and i paid about 600 something for it.

[bambebom]

@AJFedora OH MY GOD .. SORRY DUDE BUT YOU ARE STUPID .. I REGRET EVEEEEEEER THAT I BUYED SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 .. IPAD 2 IS THE BEST TABLET IN THE WORLD .. I'M NOT A FAN OF APPLE I LOVE ANDROID AND THE GALAXY S2 IS THE BEST PHONE IN THE WORLD FOR ME .. but in the tablet's android is the worst .. i wish i buyed apple ipad 2 .. fuck you tab 10.1

[edgaruriarte]

ummm yea this kinda sucks.. il stick with my ipad 2 :)

[mliano71]

Man! Boooringg!!! 3min. to turn it on! come on!

[Groovnstar]

cant use it vertically?

[drnoob79]

@Groovnstar you can use it whatever way you want apart from diagnal. the screen will flip 4 ways

[keith8880]

I'm a total noob how does this stack up against an iPad 2?

[Hollenvaen]

@keith8880 It's far far better.

[ghostzfounder]

sony tablet ASS!!!

[fcsway212]

@ghostzfounder Just like the iPhone 4 ASS?

[jawilli2005]

Take off the auto focus on the camcorder!

[jimboro7]

manual focus ;)

[mattjade]

Sorry, but terrible review and worse reviewer.

[MomoShow9]

I LOVE SONY VERY VERY MUCH

[UncleMarioBoss]

Wow, Same price as an ipad, yet it's made out of plastic? and it runs Android? and it has horrible cheap looking Sony branded icons? and it hasn't got a hd camera... why sony why? I'll stick to my aluminium, emerald glass ipad any day over this crap ;D

[limeroundup]

@UncleMarioBoss Try the eee pad transformer prime when it comes out. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[paulscape72]

@UncleMarioBoss @UncleMarioBoss I agree - it should be lightweight aluminium, 10.1 inch screen, the top part should be a full on surround sound speaker housing for awesome sound and it should have a great sony camera plus microphone. Should also come in 64G. Does look nice though.

[01tommrazek]

@UncleMarioBoss It HAS an HD camera,the newest android has a way more advanced home screen than the iOS and it is more powerful, since the ipad ids underclocked to 900mhz to save battery life

[SuperSquirters2]

CAN YOU EARN TROPHIES!?

[UWcollegelife]

If you want your camera to stop with the focusing problems simply turn off the video stabilizer. When you use a tripod and have the video stabilizer on the camera tries to stabilize an image that is already stable.

[Soccer16Fan]

Can you add storage?

[xXevocatXx]

@Soccer16Fan Yes, it has a full-size sd card slot

[trey9386]

Lol adobe is discontinuing its flash usage. Now what do apple iPad haters have to say?

[iCloud08]

@trey9386 they're only stopping new development for mobile devices, not the desktop version. And patches will still be released for security issues and etc.

[Tonystarkes888]

@trey9386 it is not that we hate apple, it is just not everyone is a sheep, and not everyone is willing to follow.

[infinitesporkage]

@Tonystarkes888 Do you deliberately avoid going for market leaders? I'd love to see how many examples there are of you actually following. This tablet is great, so get it if you like it, I know I'm tempted. It's just incredibly petty to be all like "I'm not going to follow everyone like sheep" because you're just doing the same thing, albeit with another company. Apple was like this with macs - people were like "Think different" and just followed others as it seemed cool. That's all.

[Tonystarkes888]

@infinitesporkage does apple pay u to blog to keep there customers, comsumer or u just born blind, champ.

[infinitesporkage]

@Tonystarkes888 That's possibly the worst comeback I've seen in a long time. You must be a kid or something.

[BradFiasco]

@infinitesporkage It's true though. 99% of people have apple products because" ITS AN IPHONE!!" etc.

Another point is that Apple's market strategy is so obvious it's almost shocking to see people not noticing. Apple creates a product with every bell and whistle and every feature you need in a phone, then strips it down to the bare minimum and sells it to you overpriced, gradually "upgrading" it every year. Apple takes the consumer for an oblivious moron, which is mostly is.

[infinitesporkage]

@BradFiasco I'd love to see proof of that statistic. Most of the people I know buy an iPhone because it looks nice and its nice and simple to use. Quite a few of the android owners I know only buy it because the iPhone wasn't good enough for them, as in "ITS NOT AN IPHONE!!" so I disagree with your point. Also, I agree that Apple do hold back on features on their devices, but "bare minimum"? Surely the bare minimum of a phone would be a device that can only make phone calls... see what I mean?

[Tonystarkes888]

@infinitesporkage u didnt answer my question blogger boy, not a comback. ** Read ** let me help you "does apple pay u to blog to keep there customers, comsumer or u just born blind, champ." now answer me fuck head

[infinitesporkage]

@Tonystarkes888 Okay, calm down. The worst thing you can do is resort to calling people offensive names - it just makes your argument look even more tenuous. Also, don't tell people to read when you can barely type or comprehend the basics of grammar. Finally, don't ask stupid questions. Apple's doing really well and don't need people to blog to keep "there" customers. Your previous comment was an awful comeback, yes, it was just a petty insult instead of a constructive argument.

[Tonystarkes888]

@infinitesporkage you calm down, i win, you still didnt anwer my question. so you can burn in hell.

[infinitesporkage]

@Tonystarkes888 You are simply too amusing. The question you asked is incredibly stupid and ironically I actually work for Sony retail. You'll obviously say I'm lying so please do because you're quite entertaining. I guess what I've learned here is "You should never argue with idiots because they will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. " It applies so well to you and your immature nature.

[Tonystarkes888]

@infinitesporkage i win i get the last word, "WORD !!!"

[infinitesporkage]

@Tonystarkes888 Haha, still funny. :D

[IS0iOS]

@trey9386 Skyfire.

[01tommrazek]

@trey9386 Not too much, what is html5 for?

[icihowl]

@trey9386

Steve Jobs is dead. What does Apple fans have to say?

[capoderra]

I think when people search for a review, they want you to USE the device immediately. At least you didn't do one of those pointless "unboxing" segments. Explain what the device has WHILE you are using the device. To summarize, think about what your audience wants, do research on what other reviewers do or don't do well. (editing: this review was too long)

[crimson1d]

basic knowledge: if you want to focus on something close and to remain in focus, use manual focus and Pre-focus.

[prairieboys10]

can you link it to ps3/online account

[MauriWantsU]

I just discoverd that SONY ericsson is from sony:P lol

[xeonvirus66]

I would LOVE to get this! I just have one question though that I'm hoping other viewers or you could answer. Does this allow you to search the web? Like how computers have IE, Firefox, etc, does this tablet have such a thing?

[bassandguitargreg]

@xeonvirus66 i messed around with one a few days ago. It had a browser colled "dolfin" and was absolutely seemless. even supported gesture shortcuts

[xeonvirus66]

@bassandguitargreg alright cool, thank you :)

[PlayStationHidden]

I want GTA V!

[01iamaprofessional]

the camera is mad because he is reviewing a sony product and it's jealous.

[MsDRIZELLA]

カメラはどこのメーカーだ？

[TVperson1]

Can you charge it via USB?
