Looks like this would be a nice tablet for the kids at Christmas.
This deal seems too good to be be true. Does anyone have any input on the tablet or the seller?
According to this link:
http://blog.sony.com/sony-tablet-s-update
the Tablet S has a factory Ice Cream Sandwich OS now. I really liked this tablet when it came out; the wedge form factor makes it feel like you're holding a (thin) book. I didn't wind up buying one, though, which seems to have been a popular decision.
@lydon71: I cannot speak for the tablet itself as I have never used one personally but based on the reviews at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SGPT111US-Wi-Fi-Tablet-16GB/dp/B005FXYJZY) it looks like it is a pretty solid tablet.
As for the seller, tigerdirect.com they are a reliable company. I have purchased many PC's and parts from them and have never had any issues.
Hope this helps
i so want one. being a ps3 junky though im sure if i get it ill be labeled a sony fan boy by my apple fan boy friends.
I got the 32gb model on Woot a few months ago. I really love it.
-Solid performer
-has SD slot (not for apps), internal memory and USB memory so is a little different than some.
-Very comfortable to hold.
-responsive
-LONG battery life
-2 cameras (can zoom)
Cons-Uses proprietary charger
-Less known so occasionally there are apps that say it isn't supported
-Playstation store useless
-Since last update a few weeks ago, every time it reboots, you loose the icons for apps stored in USB storage, but from what I have read this is not unique to Sony, but has happened to other devices as well.
Decent price for a tablet in this size range, but the Tegra 2 is a turn off for me. I would rather save my dough for a bit longer and get a Nexus 10 or a Transformer. Tegra 2 is a bit out of date now. But again, no hating or trolling here, for the price...this might be a good deal for some!
@alexanderluthor: I can not think of any way that could be a bad thing.
This is a very good tablet at this price. It does have 4.0 available for update from Sony.
this tablet actually is getting if it hasnt yet android 4.1 jelly bean http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/20995/android-41-upgrade-list
Sold Out.
I also bought the 32gig when it was on Woot a while ago. I really like it (although tablets still seem somewhat pointless to me). It performs well and I do like using it for editing things that I've written.
While the wedge shape does make it comfortable to hold and it has a nice grippy texture to it. The downside to the wedge is generic rectangular cases won't fit, but there seem to be plenty of cases designed for it.
ya sold out
