Sony Tablet S Review

[sruhan007]

going to buy this on next week :) n nice review :)

[PerfectLoovee]

not the best tablet,but this tablet is cheaper than ipad and 16 gb for $399 :) ipad design is boring :/

[CheeksMIA305]

Love Sony products but don't think this is the best tablet out there. Hopefully they make one that surpasses other tablets.

[polaris911]

excellent review. Why would anyone buy this tablet? So thick and plasticey.. the galaxy S is so much thinner and nicer to hold

[portugaltheman42]

How is Porn on it?

[curtflirt2]

I guess to look for a HDMI to micro usb cable on ebay somewhere and u should be okay if you want HDMI.

[MobileTechReview]

@curtflirt2 The port on the Sony Tablet S isn't an MHL port, so even if you get a cable, it won't work with HDMI.

[curtflirt2]

@MobileTechReview Oh no wow, Well that's too bad there. why did they create that port if it were going to have that many problems

[andrespalma2]

Hi! is wifi reception good?

Btw, great reviews in the channel!

[AsaiMoonsault]

Would you recommend this tablet for class work such as note-taking and viewing/editing/creating Powerpoint presentations? Or do you think I would be better off with a laptop or netbook?

[curtflirt2]

@AsaiMoonsault I would think so, as long as you can read pdf files and other documents, you should be pretty good. best thing about this, it has ports like you can find the Micro usb cable and connect whatever to it.

[AsaiMoonsault]

@curtflirt2 The ports are definitely a plus. Scored the 16GB yesterday, downloaded the Office to Go app (just the free version), and I'm glad I made the decision to get it. Loving it so far!

[curtflirt2]

@curtflirt2 it's between this and the galaxy, I'm not sure. I have someone that wants to sell me their galaxy and another their S Tablet.

[TheLemonNoodle]

el cheepo ... lol :)

[hmujah1]

Hello great review, but i have 2 questions. I need to knw if we can read adobe pdf files. All my books are pdf. also should i buy sony s or samsung10.1.???please do reply as iam going to buy one of the two tablets.

hmujah1@lsu.edu

thankyou in advance !

[MobileTechReview]

@hmujah1 Yes, both tablets can view PDF files.

[EndofDays213]

I've got a question about android tablets and phones, is it true the way google makes its money from android interface is by giving your information away? the guy in bestbuy recommend me an ipad cause unless i was a "hacker" i shouldn't buy a ASUS Transformer Prime.

[shadownap1]

All Talets are nice & big. But the APPLE iPad 2 seems to better the leading one. The best tablet

[curtflirt2]

@shadownap1 ipads are good but don't count on going to multimedia websites and seeing flash videos, because you won't. Apple doesn't support flash which sucks.

[gr8vibes2]

we're at 11:09 and she hasn't explained what it can do

[gr8vibes2]

we got it with your chargersssssssssssssssss

[Fredroc42]

can you pinch to zoom? Have not seen that feature in and review yet...Also kudos for using Brandi carlile

[MobileTechReview]

@Fredroc42 Yes, you can.

[Fredroc42]

@MobileTechReview thank you

[fiercekid84]

i just won this tablet but i have no use for it.

[wiilover55]

Is it just me or does the screen look really dark? Is it LCD or LED like the iPad 2? It seems like the ipad 2 is brighter and easier to see...

[codmaster7311]

do you know If the tablet has angry birds?

[TheMarcko82]

can i use it as a dualshock 3 for my ps3? Will it rumble as well?..lol

[yuri5675]

hi,I saw lots of reviews done by you guys, i have to say GOOD JOB.!!

BUT i'll like to know witch tablet do u think is the best overall?..i wanna get one but am not sure whats best..

[xbox36o93]

i fucking love firefly like the preview

[MilesScovern]

Tomorrow...it shall be mine.

[nvnyclf]

Lisa 2 questions,

1. Does it supports farmville or similar games?

2. Can you use it as an offline gps navigation?

[Bermagden123]

this is kinda irrelevant but you have a lovely voice :)

[TimDooms]

thank you for this great review! i am using my sony right now ;-) what is the correct name of the youtube player? i cant find it on the market?

[MobileTechReview]

@TimDooms It's just called YouTube. It comes with the tablet.

[Akshayphadke]

@MobileTechReview amazing review, def subbed

[BornTrouble87]

@MobileTechReview lol

[Satcho008]

@MobileTechReview :D really nice :D

[iTechHelper1]

@MobileTechReview Can you do a review of the PS Vita??

[nfsking2005]

Does the tablet support Active Sync/Microsoft Exchange servers for email? I know the Moto Xoom did not function well with exchange, but does this device function correctly?

[GideonHiker]

Makes you wonder what the lanyard socket is for o.0 who would use a lanyard with a tablet

[lavendertwilight08]

Does this connect to a computer????

[MobileTechReview]

@lavendertwilight08 Yes, you can connect the tablet to your computer via USB.

[RamyRamz69]

Urm...would you recommend this over the Galaxy Tab 10.1?

[ATLMember]

Wow this a long video. I appreciate thoroughness, but I think 10 minutes is a good length.

[thefilipinokidutube]

i bought the sony tablet s 32gb and the wifi stoped working! everything is fine please reply

[vwt7]

Hey. I've got a questoin too. Is the shape bad when you put in on a table op other flat surface? And can you delete sony and google apps?

[Sacreficer]

Hey Lisa I got a question about this tablet. Does it have an app killer or do I need to download one from the Android Market?

[maitroyer]

Lisa, I've been your fan since longer than I want to admit, since pdabuyersguide days. I remember buying an Asus mypal A620 after I read your review, and it was the best pocket pc ever, I still have it. It's been a very nice evolution to now have video reviews beside your great written reviews, you are a very professional reviewer and as far as I'm concern THE definitive guide for mobile tech.

Now I need your advice. I'm debating between this tablet and the Thrive. What would you recommend?

[MobileTechReview]

@maitroyer Wow! That's indeed a long time! Great to have you with us! :) These are two rather different tablets with different designs, ports, etc. but united by Android OS. Check out our very detailed reviews on the web site, and see which form factor you like better, port availability (do you need HDMI out or can use DLNA), content availability (use Crackle, playstation games, etc.), etc...

[AtheismOwnsGod]

lisa do you buy all these tablets and keep them or do the companies send them to you your for reviewing? of all the tablets you have tried which one is your personal favorite?

[thefilipinokidutube]

im getting the tommorow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im getting the 32gb version witha free leather case im gettin a screen protecter and usb host can you tell me a list on what the usb host can do and do you know where to get live wallpaper thanks keep making more videos!!!

[ainteasya]

You have beautiful hands, I'd love a tuggy from them.

[puffleperson]

wow this review is very professional

I also liked how you used exact specifications of everything

[MobileTechReview]

@puffleperson Thank you! Please share our reviews with friends. :)

[TheGhoti1295]

this is truly an amazing tablet, whatching this on one right now

[katsurugi2k8]

This is a very professional and very nice review. I like the way the features are presented and that it has been compared in a professional way to the other devices. It makes me feel like going to buy one right now. Very good job! This is the best review I have seen for this tablet

[MobileTechReview]

@katsurugi2k8 Thank you so much for the support! Please do share our reviews with friends. Thanks! :)

[johncenarvd27]

never do i read/ watch full review(s) .. But i watch yours ! good job :)

[MobileTechReview]

@johncenarvd27 Thanks! :)

[PrincessaMariposa18]

On the bottom left. there are 3 icons. The icon on the right ( !st icon from the right ), if you have alot of Apps open on there. How do you take them out the apps ? Basically what im saying is how do you close the apps permanently without running from the Background.

[zappysam5533]

1 quick question. So I'm new to tablets and stuff but I think this is the right one for me. Anyway this might sound stupid but can you make a shortcut of a website say on one of the desktops or the app-page?

[lavendertwilight08]

Great review, even though I didn't understand all the honeycomb and gingerbread nonsense it was one of the best reviews that didn't leave anything out. Answered all my questions! :)

[akshaytarfe]

its similar to notion inks adam

[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...

[TheWhiteside23]

lmao at 8:04 look at bottom right corner of the tablet u can see her kid and at the top right and the screen u can see her

[migoreng03]

hi lisa! debating between a tablet s and a xoom. the sony pretty much sold me when i first played with it at my local store, but what i hear is that the problems will be when using outdoors. low brightness and bad speakers, also hear battery life is short. can u shed some light on this?

any ideas on which one to get between xoom and tablet s? ive narrowed it down to the 2 and dont think ill need a quad core for what ill be doing (movies, comics, surfing, etc)

[LarryV49]

@migoreng03 Dude, I have the Tablet S, The battery life is standard. It's like the other tablets. I don't have complaints about the battery life. Same with the speakers. Any tablet can look bad with sunlight. It depends on the display. I recommend the S Tablet because, it's feel and design which makes it simply beautiful

[MobileTechReview]

@migoreng03 We have a very in-depth full written review covering many questions here. Check it out. There's a link in the video description.

[thefilipinokidutube]

should i get the Sony Tablet S or the asus transformer prime do i really need quadcore

[TRANEWANTED1]

are you extremely rich or do you work for a company? also will you be reviewing the PlayStation Vita?

[ipatchi002]

never mind by the end of this video I decided to go with the sony lol

[ipatchi002]

I'm either going to get this or the samsung 32g. But its such a hard decision, witch would you prefer?

[FlashGamesMaster]

The most detailed and professional reviews out there! :)

[MobileTechReview]

@FlashGamesMaster Thanks very much! Please share our reviews with friends. Thanks! :)

[Chris2o2]

Could I connect this to my ps3 and stream video from the tablet to the ps3?

[HoodRow37]

I got to play with this a little bit today at Brand Smart. I gotta say that I at first wanted the Acer Iconia, but I think I finally found the tablet that's right for me.

[stingostechreview]

Great review thank you :)

[goforkranthi79]

you get to use, review, not to mention play!! with all these tabs, mobiles and stuff!!! cool nerdy girl you are!!!! kinda living my nerdy dream!!

[BIGYELLOWEXTRASIZED]

Hey Lisa,well like always loved comprehensive review.I was wondering which tablet will you suggest, i don't care about the OS, i just want the most of my tab...so iPad 2 ,Sony Tablet S etc.?

[MobileTechReview]

@BIGYELLOWEXTRASIZED Picking a tablet is a very personal thing. It depends on your taste, your sources of content, the apps you use, etc. We have in-depth reviews and video reviews of most tablets sold in the US. Check them out, hopefully they can help you decide. Good luck!

[BIGYELLOWEXTRASIZED]

@MobileTechReview Glad you replied, well ive gone through your reviews of Galaxy tab 10.1,iPad 2, etc. Please help me decide iPad 2,Asus Eee Pad,Galaxy 10.1 or Sony tablet S..... Pretty tough question han Please help me decide people...

[ichiro0215]

I would like to know if this can be connected to a projector?

[MobileTechReview]

@ichiro0215 The Sony Tablet S doesn't have an HDMI output unfortunately, it supports DLNA wireless streaming. IF you need to use a tablet with a protector, check out a tablet that has HDMI out port.

[ichiro0215]

@MobileTechReview Thanks a lot, Lisa.

[caleaudi]

Hi Lisa! I absolutely LOVE your reviews! Please keep them coming! I cant wait for your hopefully upcoming review of the Galaxy Nexus. And thanks for reviewing the Motorola Droid RAZR. Because of your review that is the phone I decided on...I LOVE it! LOVE the reviews!!! THANKS!!! :-)

[kslacson2]

I have a macbook and an iphone, so itunes is heavily integrated daily as i do a lot of syncing and resyncing..is there some way to use that same library with this tablet? Or will i have to use some type of converter to transfer that music to the sony? itunes is really proficient in having a universal application of media for its devices, so that's what might push me over the fence towards the ipad 2, but i was just wondering if anyone been in this situation?

[azra0687]

Even though the tablet S is quite new, I was wondering if you got any news regarding a tegra 3 tablet from Sony? I kinda like this tablet, but with all the tegra 3 tablets coming up... I just don't know, whether its a smart move for me.

[Deamonized11]

Is it multi touch capable?

[BradleyUK]

@Deamonized11 Yes.

[BDx437]

OMG You answer my question.. I was wonder if this tablet was left handed friendly.

[MobileTechReview]

@BDx437 I'm left handed and have no issues using it.

[HateUTub]

I would fault them for that ridiculous charger. Any of the other tablets that make use of a charger with USB plug do come with a short cord yes, but you can easily purchase a USB extension if you'd like a longer cord. I've purchased a 15ft usb extension for my tablet and it works wonderfully. Meanwhile my charger and main cord are small enough for me to travel with much more easily than with a laptop style charger. After all that is the point to using a tablet isn't it?

[sithu04]

so ugly tablet

[BR1ANLE]

@sithu04 so bad English

[DejectedPanda]

You need a sexy nickname like Lisa-liscious. More page views. Trust me.

[kimburruss]

design of this thing is ugly. VIZIO is my standing choice for my first tablet.

[ghostzfounder]

why every video must compare with ipad2?

[arrobamiguelangel]

@ghostzfounder because the Ipad2 is the big boss of the tablets and everyone want to beat it

[dan110024]

@ghostzfounder I used to wonder the same thing, but when reviewers compared phones to the iphone. It's because everyone knows about the iPad (and iDevices). Most people know exactly what they're like to use, how big they are, how heavy they are, etc. So it makes it easy for the reviewer to compare to an item that everyone is so familiar with.

[carlos1010]

you sounds like Dory from NEMO~ :) i like it~

[extopher]

I have to say that I've been watching your reviews lately of cell phones and tablets and I love how comprehensive and thoughtful they are. Good job!

[MobileTechReview]

@extopher Thank you very much! Glad you like our reviews. Please share them with your friends. Thanks! :)

[okoskutya35]

I don't like this desing

[OoAMSoO]

Great Reveiw, This kills this Kills the Ipad, cant wait to get this

[TheCrispism]

absolutely brilliant review

[MobileTechReview]

@TheCrispism Thank you!! Please share our reviews with friend. Thanks! :)

[kennydominican]

Its a single core tablet right?

[TheCrispism]

@kennydominican im pretty sure its dualcore

[MobileTechReview]

@kennydominican 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core.

[SuperSquirters2]

can you earn trophies?

[sai0024]

is the touch screen good as the ipad....???



[Soccer16Fan]

Is 16GB enough space or is it better paying the extra for the 32GB?

[drum101keane]

great vid very helpfull.Is there 3g and is the connection fast?

[MobileTechReview]

@drum101keane Thanks! The US version has only WiFi, no 3g.

[drum101keane]

@MobileTechReview what about the english version?

[MobileTechReview]

@drum101keane The UK sells the WiFi version as well. Check with your cell carriers, they will tell you if they offer a 3G version.

[drum101keane]

@MobileTechReview ok will do also does the video chat connect to ipods/iphones?

[MobileTechReview]

@drum101keane Sure, use Skype video chat.

[flafla61]

just to be sure.. you can create word documents and powerpoint with every tablet can't you??

[MobileTechReview]

@flafla61 It doesn't come with an Office suite of apps to do that, but you can get one to create Office files (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) on the Android Market.

[voidheart777]

Looks good, I might wait for the 2nd gen of Sony Tablet

[joepatroni77]

The only thing I am not impressed by is build qaulity. (Made in China). The rounded part near the power/volume controls begins to squeak and become slightly loose. Very annoying noise whe holding. Exchanged mine and same thing happend after a week.

[Prettyboynyc1218]

I really love this video thanks alot..... I just brought mine and I was a little lost about certain information..... Thanks

[MobileTechReview]

@Prettyboynyc1218 Thank you! Glad we could help! Please share our reviews with friends. :)

[lachter786]

i am going to buy a Sony tablet 3 g 16gb in Japan, but Will the internet conection work in the netherlands?

[MobileTechReview]

@lachter786 So far the Sony Tablet S is still WiFi in the US. If Japan has 3G version, ask them if it's on GSM or CDMA as they have both.

[4256Conroy]

The Only Reason I'm Not Getting A Tablet Is Because You Can't Get iTunes And I Don't Want An iPad.. Is There Any Other Way Of Syncing Music From Tab To iPhone?

[MobileTechReview]

@4256Conroy Check out apps like DoubleTwist for syncing Android to iTunes.

[pizzapandaexpressxXx]

@markcoffiekeneth

If your an expert in tablets then please help,

I'm split between the ipad 2, Sony tablet s, and galaxy tab 10.1 . Please help.

[darksider63]

@pizzapandaexpressxXx I have the original iPad and I had Sony tablet S in my hand. Sony feels cheap but the most important thing is the OS - Android sucks. Take the iPad, honestly :)

[KaneDesigns]

Web browsers looks terrible takes a second to scroll -_- was thinking of switching from an iPad but not now :(

[MrWakawaka90]

i love you so much sony

[TVperson1]

Can you charge it via USB or not?

[lekane06]

Great review! Thank you for the research! :)

[RickkoD1982]

so can you put your own ebook files onto this tablet (through usb / sdcard / whatever) or do you have to buy them from a store like the iPad?

[MobileTechReview]

@RickkoD1982 You can load your own books via USB and sd card.

[Kipodkid]

One of the best tablets in the world iPad 2

Sony tablet s in my option

[NoobiusTalks]

23:26 Read the page. Couldn't you have picked a better book for this? lol.

[Shadowthehedgehog835]

Can you please help me with a decision? I am chosing between two tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Sony? You're really my deal breaker so could you concisely say which one is better and why?

[lopezr1000]

@Shadowthehedgehog835 i am also choosing between these 2 lol

[MobileTechReview]

@Shadowthehedgehog835 It's hard to say which one is better for you-- they're both good. Depends if you want a really thin tablet, or the lightweight wedge of the Sony.

[markcoffiekenneth]

@Shadowthehedgehog835 i think the sony is much better but if u want more information reply to me and i will give help about what u should buy.i am an expert in Tablets and i have lot of yser experience

[heshamezz]

does it have TV-out ??????

[MobileTechReview]

@heshamezz Only via DLNA wireless, there's no HDMI port.

[mab1ro]

Great review! I noticed you started using a logo in the corner. My advice would be to try and get it a little more justified in the corner, and maybe even if possible turn the opacity down just a tad so its not too intrusive on the video. Cheers.

[LetsPlayWithKyle1]

great review!! it helped me decide to pick one up the other day, (16gig model) it's just fantastic. ps1 games are a little tricky to play, but work great. Even comes with some great apps right out of the box..

[MobileTechReview]

@LetsPlayWithKyle1 Very glad you like it!! Please share reviews with friends. ;)

[Chris93036]

Mucho Mucho! Hahaha!

[Chris93036]

Mucho

[w4r7]

can you draw on this like on ipad or the asus?

[MobileTechReview]

@w4r7 You can use a capacitive stylus or your finger draw on the Sony Tablet S in apps that support it.

[tacit25]

@MobileTechReview What is the battery life on the Sony S Tablet? Thank you

[MobileTechReview]

@tacit25 About 6.5 hours in a mix of tasks like email, surfing, music and playing a few short videos.

[nosleoh]

No 3G? .....

[MobileTechReview]

@nosleoh No, not on this version.

[Mrdirtydarth]

should I get the eee pad transformer or the tablet s?

[WEH8CATS]

what stuff can you save onto the sd card and put into the device

[joepatroni77]

Great review. Dropped mine on hardwood floor from waist height, no damage. Best tablet on market imo.

[MobileTechReview]

@joepatroni77 Thanks! Wow, that's amazing!

[Cahluvca]

I have read that this tablet doesnt support netflix and has limited apps that are working correctly since its so new on the market.....Is this correct

[MobileTechReview]

@Cahluvca It didn't. But Netflix finally is available for Android Honeycomb tablets now. We tested it on the Sony Tablet S, it worked fine.

[Rickygt07]

Got to love tablets with sd card slot and usb for the external storage supports. I was going to buy the ipad 2 but this looks pretty slick

[AnthonySchell96]

They had to design it like that.. I hear apple has a patent on the rectangle...

[sahil1105]

@mobiletechreview which one would u recommend, sony tablet s or samsung galaxy tab 10.1??
