Leave it to SONY to make a two stylish tablet.
The S1 will be a 10" screen and the S2 will be two split screen 5" each.

The S2 is interesting, but would need a custom ebook reader app so that a line of text isn't split across the seam.

SONY and Computer don't work too well in the past with VAIO series. Can they make a comeback with Tablets? I am sure those two design won't be cheap and by the time they come out officially Ice Cream should be it first appearance.

Stylish, but how is the usability?

On the other hand, the resulting "dumbing down" is also the reason so much functionality is missing. It stands to reason that, as the technical sophistication of the population rises, as other companies make their interfaces increasingly easier to use (one example of where everyone else is way ahead of Apple is widgets --- they save so much time), and as the number of people who grew up before computers goes down, this approach may well backfire. Intel now also has some interesting new developments -- that may allow for very advanced chips that can run full windows with extremely low power requirements. That would relegate the current Android and iOS tablets to the same position that e-ink readers find themselves in vs. tablets right now. Meaning such half baked OS's would only be used for extremely low priced devices with limited functionality and most users would opt to pay slightly more for a device that does everything. We also have to see what Windows 8 brings -- will it be a real OS or just a tablet OS version of WM 7? Last edited by HansTWN; 05-04-2011 at 11:18 PM. |
