These days, IFA 2011 is taking place in Berlin, one of the biggest technology conferences in the world, and Sony took the opportunity to present Sony Tablet P, a new device with which the Japanese company hopes to gain some of the market share lost to the competition. The Sony Tablet P is a visit the tablet with 2 screens of only 5.5 inches which combined should offer a multimedia experience good enough to convince a user to give up the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy Tab or maybe even an iPad 2 tablet. Basically the Sony Tablet P represents the communion between 2 Canadian Samsung Galaxy S IIs, but with much less processing power and a not so successful design.
From the hardware point of view, the tablet is "up-to-date", able to compete quietly with any other currently available on the market, but the big problem is the design. I understand that Sony wanted to make a compact device that would fit in a lady's purse, or better yet, to hold the role of a purse, but what came out is not worthy of the year 2011. In a time when tablets with 10-inch screens dominates the market and users want an experience as fluid as possible, Sony comes with a hybrid that has 2 screens and would not be able to generate more sales than the HP TouchPad without a price reduction. Sony has a tablet called S with which it hopes to compete on the tablet market, but I think it would have had much more to gain if it had made a single competitive tablet than a hybrid and another next to it. And to end everything properly, I'll tell you that the tablet will cost €600, a price that I recommend without any hesitation, right?
I don't know how tablet manufacturers think today, but everyone should buy the iPad 2 tablet, analyze it in detail and think how they can improve that concept. The iPad 2 is the standard in the industry, the iPad 2 is the device that must be surpassed and the Sony Tablet P is, from my point of view, a joke that Sony should not have made now. Seeing such tablets, I don't even wonder why some manufacturers offer them as a gift when buying a TV.
