Sony Xperia Tablet Pre Order Starts, Free Cradle Included
Sony Xperia tablet Z goes on pre-order; higher priced white model includes complementary cradle.
While Sony’s Xperia Tablet Z is now available for pre-order, a recent sales pitch by the company has started to shift attention to the generally less popular white model. Those who pre-order the 32 GB version in white before May 24, 2013 will receive a free cradle as a bonus.
The tablet runs on Android’s Jelly Bean operating system, with fairly standard specifications for its product class. The 10.1-inch full HD resolution screen is joined by a 1.5 GHz Spandragon S4 Pro as well as 2 GB of RAM. The 2 megapixel front camera and 8 megapixel rear camera are hopefully going to be better than the previous Xperia tablets. The newer tablet at least has a handy IR emitter, which you can use to control your TV or other devices instead of using your remote. The price for the 16 GB black version is currently $499.99, while the promoted 32 GB white model with cradle is $599.99.

g00fysmiley overpriced for the specs, the 32 gig nexus 10 is $499 and blows this thing out of the water... sony needs to learn if they are going to remain relevant they can't price like they used to in their haydayReply -
kartu Article fails to mention the most important feature of Xperia, that isn't found on other devices: it is WATER PROOF. Want to watch some TV show in a hot tub? Here you go.Reply
IR emitter is nice, but not unique. -
g00fysmiley water resistant not water proof... but yes that does make a big difference, still the hardware isn't amazing for the pricepoint but being water resistant makes it a better contender to vs other tabelts if you have need for water resistance. wonder why tom's didn't incluse that info, seems a pretty big selling pointReply
