Sony Tablet P
The Good
The <b>Sony Tablet P's</b> screens look great and I appreciate its removable battery. Also, the ability to fold it in half and fit it into your pocket is indescribably convenient.
The Bad
The two screens are segmented by a dead space, making certain apps function awkwardly, and its pointy corners don't necessarily make me want to hold it for extended periods. Also, both the contract and noncontract prices are too expensive given what you get; there are better and cheaper alternatives. The PlayStation Store game selection is extremely limited.
The Bottom Line
The Sony Tablet P's clamshell design makes it very convenient, but its expensive price and the awkward implementation of its dual screens make for an undesirable tablet experience.
No, it's not called "The Sony DS," although technically that's exactly what the Sony Tablet P is. A dual-screen, portable Sony system that plays PlayStation games (keep reading), that just happens to run Android.
Dual screens on a tablet is a pretty exciting concept, but does having two screens improve or hinder the tablet experience?
Editors note: As of June 2012 the Sony Tablet P is upgradeable to Android 4.0. For details on the advantages Android 4.0 offers over Honeycomb, check the Android 4.0 section of the "="" target="_self">
