User Reviews for Sony Tablet S1

I got this tablet 5 days ago for my wife. After checking Samsung galaxy tab, Lenovo, Motorola xoom, Asus, Acer, she needed one that was light weight, comfortable to hold, has expandable memory and allows her to use Skype. We did not need 3G as she can wirelessly pair it over her Motorola defy for internet access. The tablet is best in terms of design and ergonomics. The performance is at par with Galaxy tab. We were completely delighted. Considering other features as standard (available on other tablets), we went for this one. However, there were few serious let downs. 1. Although the internal memory space is 16GB, most of it is used by the system. You only get 9 GB of usage space. 2. To use any data (Video, pics, music) on the external SD card, you need to transfer them first to internal memory so that sony apps detects. So in case, you to do not have internal free space, you hit a road block!! Atleast for the video, I was able to download MX player that detected videos on SD card. I have not yet checked apps for music and photos. 3. The front camera is just .3 mega pixel. This is not at all suitable for Skype as the video is always dark and grainy irrespective of light conditions. 4. The sound volume is little low. Not good for movies. 5. The screen display is good but needed more brightness.

good things: *it has a texture design at the back which gives a good hold! *its screen is soo big to enjoy games and typing purpose! *it has a 5.0 megapixel camera! sorry good things are over now,now disadvantages: *its a sony brand,but front camera is a VGA camera :( *internal storage it gives us 16GB which is expandable to 32GB but when u insert a external memorycard the first thing it asks u is do u want to transfer the data of card to internal memory? well,if i want to use the internel memory then why should i insert a card! sooo,the if u insert a card it is only to transfer data to internal memory butit is not accessable! *in any tablet u can watch the videos easily but here u have to convert it! soo,my opinion is to wait till sony interchange its features or look for any other tablet.because it is so expensive and advantages are very less where as disadvantages r very much.

All problems mentioned above have workarounds .. Trust me guys.. this is an awesome tablet. All u need is a good knowledge of Android OS and a "quest for more" ,, rather than a complaining attitude. Go to Android market and find the solutions. TRIED and TESTED.

One would never regret buying this tablet.It is ultra stylish,compact and worth every buck you've spent.nIt is stunningly light in your hands and very comfortable to hold.nThe web browsing experience was awesome.The shape of this tablet makes typing very convenient.nI'm not 100% satisfied with the camera but overall features make this a lovely gadget!nIf you are looking for an android below 25000 bucks this is the best pick! go ahead and buy it...!

Before I got this tab I did some research, I saw the reviews for this tab on flipcart and was not very happy about the product I thought this product wud be let down.i was convinced to buy samsung galaxy tab.but then I thought instead of beliving on the reviews I myself went to an electronic shop and tried the both the products samsung,sony.the first thing that came to my mind when I srarted testing sony "wow the touch is nothing I have ever experienced be4".then I took the samsung n I felt the touch had some lags not as smooth as the sony.i bought it then n there. I saw some people complaing about not being able to use sd card as internal memory i.e user are saying they have to transfer the data to internal memory to watch videos,listen to musdics etc.wel there is a work around for the. There is an android app ES FILE EXPLORER, download that n then u can access and use ur sd card just like u r accessing internal memory,although u cannot install applicationsd in ur external sd card,u can certainly store movies ,docs,music stuffs there and use it. Just to end please dont belive on the reviews entirely do check the stuff urself.i have been using it for the past 4 months n m very happy with it,specially after the 4.0.3 upgrade to ice cream sandwich.it looks I mean the UI is jst simply wow. I hope my review was helpful for people who are looking forward to buy a tab.
