Sony S2 - Dualscreen Android Tablet

It seems these days so that each well-known manufacturers have their own tablet in his program would have to continue to be involved in the electronics market. Today another Sony Tablet of the FCC went to the network, which differs from the previous Tablets significantly. Behind the name Sony S2 lies in fact no commercially available 7 "or 9" device, but a very unique design that brings both advantages and disadvantages.

It is the equivalent S2 Tablet Sony not having a big screen so, but with two small, and can be opened up like a notebook. This idea reminds us of the Acer Iconia, had a laptop keyboard instead of a second screen to create a variety of input opportunities.

Sony installed two 5.5-inch capacitive touch screens, each with a resolution of 1,024 x 480 pixels. Behind the glass facade lies lend a Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual-Core of the Android 3.0, the power needed to. As good as the data so far also sound like the Sony S2 Tablet awakened before its launch, the signs of childhood illness, which is about the WeTab stopped prematurely. Although Sony has chosen a very flexible with Android operating system, because even the integration of the two screens could be difficult, and cause massive problems with the apps on the Android Market. Hopefully it has enough at Sony thought about these issues, so that stands not for the customer as a beta tester.

Last but not least, the Sony S2 tab is still "Playstation certified, " which in retrospect is on the Xperia Xplay a logical consequence. So the games are shown on the upper window viewing, while the bottom screen serves as a mere touch controller and is in control. The reports of the FCC should result in the S2 already be available soon, and go for an impressive $ 699 its owner - whether one has taken over at this point was a little, even to be seen. The fact is, however, obtained for such a price, both the new Playstation Vita and a well-equipped Sony Vaio laptop, while the tablet is not likely to play, yet suitable for writing long texts really well.

Intel Oak Trail Tablets with Android Honeycomb at Computex

In times when almost daily announced a new smartphone or tablet on Android-based acts, Intel is not represented inside such devices. This may scrape the pride and the market shares of the Group strongly, leading now Intel is also somewhat more active. At Computex, which is launched today, the Group has some of their own (ODM) and the Tablets of the partners issued to date. These run up to the Foxconn F150, which is equipped with Ginger Bread, all with Honeycomb 3.0.1, which is designed for tablets.

According to the testimony of colleagues from Engadget, Intel Oak Trail Tablets are obviously overwhelmed with the OS. In the exhibited devices are Intel Green Ridge, F150 Foxconn, Quanta QXZI, Intel Marco Polo 2 and Intel Carrot. The launcher animations have already made major difficulties for the systems. The whole thing runs so far and so were some colleagues did not even start a video, because it was held by Intel's booth staff it. One suspects, therefore, that the project is started, but it still takes time until it reaches the market. All are therefore still problems, reminiscent of the port of Android 1.6 for x86 systems, in itself a powerful notebook has difficulty with the animations.

It was striking that the Android Market has been lacking. Intel asserted that the final version will have the market. So you have to wait even longer for the Intel Tablets are ready for market.

It seems that Windows is judged to have been eight of the notebook makers skeptical. Hardly a manufacturer wants to immediately jump on the train, they seem to want to wait and see. Whether this performance has technical reasons, is currently not an accurate picture. The combination of Windows 8 and ARM Tablets should still do not work so well because it lacks power. In addition to this, it will be of a market test to determine whether the combination is accepted. If successful the project will probably follow suit other manufacturer. The desktop market will affect the hard, even on Google Android-based tablets are the estimates to follow, barely disturbed or shocked by serious competitors are.

One might assume that there will be to see the first samples of such tablets at the upcoming Computex 2011th
