Sony's New Anti-iPad Arsenal

It's official: Sony is going to launch two Android 3.0 Honeycomb based tablets, the S1 and S2.

The S1 will possibly have a 9.4-inch display with front and back cameras and will be powered by NVidia's Tegra 2 dual?core processor.

Interestingly, the S2 will feature dual 5.4 inch displays in a clamshell casing and will also run NVidia's Tegra 2 processor.

The Dual Display design is useful for reading digital books whose content is displayed on screen as two pages side-by side.

Both the tablets will come preloaded with the PlayStation Suite and the Reader Store, which will provide a lot of digital content.

The tablets will be enabled with Sony's Qriocity platform, which will connect the device to many of Sony's online services such as the PlayStation Network.

Both the tablets will be DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) enabled which will allow them to stream music wirelessly and access videos on large displays.

The tablets will offer remote AV functionality as well, especially the S1 will come with a built in universal remote functionality through a special infrared sensor.

Both tablets will have Wi-Fi and 3G/4G versions depending on which market they release in.

Sony plans to release the tablets in Q3 of 2011.
