Tablet war heats up as Sony introduces two Android slates

The second wave of iPad 2 challengers has started to surface and consumer electronics giant Sony is fielding not one but two new Sony Tablets coming this Fall.

The S1 has a 9.4-inch display and the S2 has  two 5.5-inch displays. Aside from the requisite Honeycomb OS applications, the Sony Tablets will be tightly integrated with Sony's line of Bravia televisions and will feature tie-ins with Sony's Qriocity video-streaming service and support for the Sony-initiated Digital Living Network Alliance standards via IR port, so they double as entertainment controllers. No word yet on the price although if Sony wants to really compete in terms of price and not just features, it should price these tablets in line with the rest of the market.
