Video: Sony Xperia S Android Tablet Demoed

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Here's the demo of the Xperia S Android Tablet from Sony. Integrating a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, Bravia screen technology, advanced universal remote control functionality plus all the goodness you get from Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Xperia S tablet is available now from Sony Stores for $399 for the 16GB version and $499 for the 32GB version, both offer expandability via SD Card.

First impressions are that it is improved over last year's plastic model. Design is more subtle, there is an aluminium component that gives it a more premium feel while keeping the weight low. Sony is also launching a gamut of accompanying docks, cases and connectors to expand the ecosystem. The Xperia S tablet is also water resistant and is designed to be used in kitchens or by the pool. This could be the first lifestyle-focused Android tablet with some practical use cases.
