Sony Tablet (Sony S1) launching in Canada, possibly September 14th

By on August 29, 2011 at 2:30pm in Mobile News


The Sony Tablet, aka the Sony S1 or Tablet S, is coming to Canada and it looks like the release date could either be September 14th or 15th. According to this invite that Sony Canada sent out states that “The new Sony Tablet is about to arrive in Canada. As a valued customer, we would like YOU to see it first!”. No details on pricing or where we’ll be able to pick one up, but most likely from the Sony Style Stores and big box stores like Best Buy and Future Shop (unconfirmed). This tablet comes with Android 3.1 Honeycomb, 9.4-inch touchscreen display (resolution of 1280×800), Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, PlayStation certified, Wi-Fi, and DLNA. Apparently there will be a 16GB and 32GB models and no insight if there will be a 3G/4G version.

We’ll have more info soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

    • @Clockwork
      i have two SE android device and i don’t use the timescape
      it’s quite useless xDDD but it’s a cool concept
      mediascape is better to use instead (i hope they keep that part)

  3. Knowing Sony they’ll likely price themselves right out of the market. If they can’t hit $499 for the 32GB model they won’t sell enough to stay relevant. It doesn’t matter if techies like us don’t like the iPad (though I own one and do like it) the fact remains that the iPad is – and always will be – the market leader, and no competitor will even come close without a seriously better value proposition and great marketing/advertising.

    • Oh if I ever read a more deluded statement, that was one! Another brainwashed Apple.

      The Ipad came out in 2010, check the specs on some HP Tablets that were released in 2003!!! Not only do they match the specs they blow them out of the water. Please spare us all your fanboy comments. You are behind and blind!

      Cheers,

    • what i’ve learned from your comment is that apple fanatics not only have all the right answers, but can also see into the future. can i acquire these powers by simply trading in my sony ericsson arc for an iphone?

  4. I am sure the price will be expensive as any past Sony device has, mainly their line of laptops.

  7. I for one AM interested in this one! A tablet that isn’t trying to look like/be like the iPad. If it integrates with other Sony devices even half as well as it suggests, I’m sold! But, I admit, I am fully in the Sony camp. I’ve already come to terms with that. :-)

  11. Given Sony’s past history, I wouldn’t put it past them to screw it up either in terms of pricing or features. Exhibit A: Sony dash
