Sony Tablet P is a 4G Tablet with NVIDIA Tegra 2 Chipset

It looks like the arrival of Sony’s two Honeycomb tablets is getting nearer.




Sony Tablet P
First up, Sony’s S1 tablet will actually launch next month as Sony Tablet S; and this time around, its dual-screen sibling we've first learned as Sony S2 which resembles the looks of Kyocera Echo will be called as Sony Tablet P.



I still can’t figure out what’s in the name, but our friends over at Engadget have already spelled out few details of what’s inside the slate. As we’ve already knew the Sony Tablet P will carry Android Honeycomb, it is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chipset. With Tegra 2, we can actually expect a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU ticking at 1GHz and an ultra-low power (ULP) GeForce graphics processor. Of course you can watch HD movies on this device, thanks to the 1080p video playback processor. Featuring 0.3MP front-facing camera, also under its hood is 512MB of RAM, a lackluster 4GB of storage and a 2GB SD card, and weighs around 370 grams. With wireless connectivity support through Wi-Fi, this device is purported to be 4G-enabled, which means as far as I understand it, will leverage on cellular networks utilizing WiMAX, LTE, or HSPA+ technologies.



It’s unclear just yet though if this will land here in the Philippines. We’ll just keep you posted once these tablets get official. [via]

Sony Tablet S, the Honeycomb Tablet We First Knew as S1

We just got the name! The 9.4-inch Honeycomb tablet heading straight from the Japanese firm is called Sony Tablet S.

Announced early this year as Sony S1, the soon-to-be official Sony Tablet S is expected to hit the market come September. And if you’re wondering if this tablet could be a winner, Sony has optimized the device for rich media entertainment by bringing features which may sound new to us like Content Throw which allow users to share, view, and transfer personal video, photos, and music to a DLNA compatible PC, TV, or speakers via wireless network. With Android 3.1 under its hood, Honeycomb experience on Sony Tablet S is also enhanced with Sony’s “QuickView” to speed up browser load times and “Quick Touch Panel” to improve touch responsiveness. For gamers, the Tablet S is PlayStation Certified and is pre-loaded with games which simply mean you can still play original PS games on this tablet. The rear camera at 5MP is actually good for a tablet particularly if it can take HD shots, but Sony will score more with Tablet S for its 3.0MP 0.3MP front-facing camera. Plus, there’s a USB Micro A Plug which works similar to USB OTG we've seen on Nokia phones.



Update: We've learned that Sony Tablet S will be available in 16GB and 32GB versions and is a Wi-Fi only device (seems like no 3G version just yet). It also got 1GB of RAM under its hood.



We’ll be eyeing on this tablet until it gets official so just stay tuned for official pricing and availability updates. [via]

Sony Announces New PSP E-1000, Priced At 99 Euro Without Wi-Fi

Gamescom, a trade fair for video games, has already kicked off its third year in Cologne, Germany and one that caught our attention so far is the announcement of Sony’s new PSP gaming console.

Some may have been anticipating more announcements of its upcoming PlayStation Vita, but surprisingly – Sony unveiled one more device called PSP E-1000.



According to Sony, PSP E-1000 is a value-priced console that will retail just €99 across all PAL regions (Asia, Africa, Australia,New Zealand, and Western Europe). This is certainly a cheaper console compared to other PSP models, but the caveat here though is the lack of Wi-Fi support. That being said, PSP E-1000 will access catalogue of PSP games through UMD disks. Game titles from PlayStation Store are also playable, but will have to be downloaded through Sony’s Media Go software.

The E-1000 handheld lacking Wi-Fi, yet priced at mere €99, might not be a problem if you just want to play games, uhmm, alone. This may not appeal to you though if you’re used web surfing right on the console, multiplayer gaming, or if you prefer downloading games straight to the device. What do you think? [via]

PSP2 may sounds great, but Sony thought of having a name that is full of life, something that enables a revolutionary combination of rich gaming and social connectivity within a real world context. Being said that, Sony’s latest handheld game console is officially named as PlayStation Vita or PS Vita. I liked it, Sony!



So, what’s up with PlayStation Vita? If you can still remember, PS Vita is not just your ordinary PSP. Unlike the earlier models of PSP, PS Vita offers both front and rear touchpads, flaunts a high-resolution 5-inch Multi-touch OLED display, offers up to six-axis motion sensors, dual analog thumb-sticks, support for wireless communications (3G and Wi-Fi), and brings both front and rear cameras – providing support for augmented reality gaming.

The support for Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity on PS Vita enables infinite possibilities for users to "encounter," "connect," "discover," "share" and "play" with friends wherever they are. The PlayStation Vita also features PS3 Integration, which allows users to enjoy continuous and uninterrupted game play between PS3 and PS Vita systems with compatible game titles. What that means is the ability of PS Vita to start a game and then resuming it on PS3 – through cloud-based saving.

PS Vita gamer versus the ones using PS3 consoles? Well, there’s the “Cross-play” feature which will offer games the possibility of being played between the two different consoles. PS Vita will also come pre-installed with an app called “Party” which enables users to enjoy voice or text chat not only during online gaming, but also when users are playing different games or using different applications.

PS Vita Price and Availability



Wi-Fi and 3G models of Sony PlayStation Vita will be available worldwide come December this year, and will sell at $249 for the WiFi-only model, or $299 for the 3G version in the US. Japan prices are set for ¥24,980 (Wi-Fi) and ¥29,980 (3G); while those in Eurozone will get it at €249 and €299 for the Wi-Fi and 3G versions, respectively. Here in the Philippines, we still don’t have the official pricing just yet; but surely I’ll let you know once we got a word from Sony’s PR in the country.

Sony S1 and S2 Honeycomb Tablet Announced (with Photos and Video)

For Sony, it’s probably better late than never. Or are they?

With so many tablet devices announced this year, Sony just made an official announcement in Tokyo, Japan today that they are also developing their own tablet devices.



Codenamed S1 and S2, these Sony Tablets will run on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and will come in different target markets. S1 which will flaunt a 9.4-inch display is said to be optimized for rich media entertainment, while S2 is for both mobile communication and entertainment. The latter’s design features two 5.5-inch display that can be folded making it more portable. It actually reminds me of its smartphone look-a-like in the name of Kyocera Echo.




Left: S1, Right: S2



Sony S1



Sony S2
Sony says the two tablets will become available in the global markets comes fall 2011; however, no official announcement made regarding the full specs and features inside except for the Tegra 2 SoC that will power both tablets, its form-factor, and that it’s centered to leveraging several Sony services like Qriocity and  the PlayStation Network. More on S1 and S2 tablets soon so just stay tuned for more updates. You may hit the trailer video after the break. [via]

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro, and Play Unveiled

Following the announcement of Xperia Arc in the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Sony Ericsson unveiled earlier today at the on-going MWC 2011 new additions to its smartphone line-up for this year namely: Xperia Neo, Xperia Pro, and Xperia Play.






Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo and Xperia Pro are identical mid-range devices as far as specs are concerned, except for the form-factor of the latter which features an added full-QWERTY sliding keyboard instead of just having Multi-Touch. Both are using Sony’s Bravia graphics engine powering 854 x 480 display resolution on 3.7-inch screen.




Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro
As expected, usual specs on Gingerbread devices are on board including the 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor, 320 MB internal storage, MicroSD support of up to 32GB (8GB microSD included), 8 MP front-facing camera with Auto-Focus and LED Flash capable of recording 720p HD videos at 30 frames-per-second, up-front is the 2 MP camera for video conferencing, and of course – wireless connectivity options like Wi-Fi, enhanced 3G support both for down and up-links (HSDPA/HSUPA), Bluetooth 2.1, and an Assisted GPS support.




Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play on the other hand is something quite different, not unless you’re a fan of PSP’s. First leaked as the PlayStation Phone, it finally got its official name as the Xperia Play. Basically, gaming buttons like that of PSP are evident. Like its companions, it’s powered by the same low-power 1 GHz Snapdragon application processor (Scorpion) and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It also sports the same resolution of 854 x 480 on its 4-inch display. Though only has a 5 MP rear camera, it’s generous to offer 512 MB of internal storage and 8GB microSD plus an expandable option of up to 32GB.



These handsets are coming to selected markets starting next month, and I guess you can still wait that long. Do you?

Featuring Sony PlayStation Meeting 2011 Videos

I’m going to watch later the replay videos of the recent Sony PlaySation Meeting 2011 held in Tokyo, Japan.

I’ve been waiting for the HD version with language translation (‘coz honestly I don’t understand Sir Kaz Hirai talking in his native languageJ) - and finally Sony posted the videos from the event, thanks to a sweet feminine voice-over. At least we can still feel the excitement though we already have idea what had been revealed, the Next Generation Portable and PlayStation Suite. I decided posting the videos here before watching my own downloaded copies. And here it is, sorted in six parts, the Sony PlayStation Meeting 2011! Enjoy watching!

Sony Unveiled Next Generation of Portable Gaming, codenamed: NGP

While pushing minor system software update to PS3 devices, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. unveiled yesterday its next generation portable gaming console codenamed NGP.

The NGP is what we first learned as the PSP 2, a refresh to the early models of popular Sony PSP launched back in late 2004 in Japan and in the early quarter of 2005 in Western countries.




Sony NGP
The Next Generation Portable or NGP is powered by an ARM Cortex A9 (4 core) processor, together with the SGX543MP4+ GPU. It features a 5-inch multi-touch organic LED at the front display, and a capacitive multi-touch pad on the rear of the device. Unlike the first-gen, this handheld console now has dual analog sticks, has two cameras (front and rear), 3 motion sensors, gyroscope, accelerometer, electronic compass, and support for 3G connectivity.





Of course there’s still the Wi-Fi capability for a better experience on the PSN which will have an added new features like “LiveArea”, a place to share fun and excitement with other players; “Activity”, logs in which NGP users can check other players’ activity on the same game title; and “Near”, a location-based application that will allow users to find out what games are being played in the same vicinity (thanks to its built-in GPS and Wi-Fi location service support).



The NGP will debut at the end of this year, probably mid-December if Sony follows similar roadmap with the first-gen PSP. Interesting!

Sony Push PS3 Update 3.56 While Having PlayStation Meeting in Japan

Just in case you haven’t learned yet, Sony is having a PlayStation event in Tokyo, Japan as of this writing.

The event is focused more on PSP, the cross-platform development framework called PlayStation Suite, the new licensing program called PlayStation Certified, PlayStation Store for Android devices, its Next Generation Portable (NGP) handheld gaming console next to PSP (unconfirmed yet if it’s the PSP2), and etc. (Updates to follow...)



And while Sony’s PlayStation Meeting is going on, it’s also silently pushing update to PS3 devices. The new software update, PS3 System Software Update v3.56, is a minor update that adds a security patch – but speculations are it targets patching the security flaw exploited on the PS3 jailbreak. We can recall that Sony also pushed PS3 firmware update v3.55 last month, so it appears that didn’t fully work in due time.



If you got a PS3 console connected to the PlayStation Network, expect to receive updates in the next few hours. Or perhaps you already have it, do you?
