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.
