Sony has recently unveiled initial details about their upcoming S1 tablet Yestel Tablet - Thursday, approaching the End of the Week: Yestel tablet. As the week draws to a close, an unfortunate incident occurred - my son accidentally broke his tablet. In search of a replacement, I turned to Amazon and discovered an exceptional find. Introducing Yestel Tablet: A Remarkable Tablet Brand The tablet I came across was from… computer, which is designed for media, web browsing, and gaming, targeting the high-end market. It will compete with Apple’s iPad 2 and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1. The tablet’s final release name has not been disclosed yet, and the S1 is a temporary placeholder. The release is expected later this year, most likely in the autumn or toward the end of the year.

While few hardware details have been revealed about the Sony S1 tablet, it is known to feature a 9.4-inch display, placing it at the higher end of tablet sizes. This puts it directly in competition with Apple’s iPad 2 and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1, which have slightly larger screens at 9.7 and 10.1 inches respectively. This indicates that manufacturers are still exploring the optimal size for larger tablet screens. Internally, the S1 tablet is expected to run on a dual-core 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor from NVIDIA. Although this processor would be competitive at the moment, the late release date may render it outdated, as the next generation of tablets with up to four cores running at speeds around 2.5 GHz is likely to be released by then.

The design of the S1 tablet stands out with its unusual ergonomics compared to competing devices. Instead of the flat profile and even weight distribution of tablets like the iPad 2, the S1 tablet has a thicker, rounded body at the top that tapers to an extremely thin base. This design is intended to provide a comfortable grip when held.

Other hardware details, such as onboard memory, are yet to be confirmed, but it is likely to have either 512 megabytes or 1 gigabyte of memory. The tablet will have full wireless connectivity with support for both Wireless-N and 3G, and possibly one or more of the competing 4G technologies, making it comparable or slightly superior to the iPad 2. An interesting feature of the tablet is its infrared signaling ability, allowing it to control household devices with infrared reception, although initially, support will only exist for Sony Bravia products.

The standout feature of the Sony S1 tablet computer is its access to the PlayStation library of games. Similar to the recently released Xperia Play, the S1 will have access to a growing library of PlayStation games that are being adapted to run on the ARM processor architecture powering the tablet. This is an area where the S1 will outshine the iPad 2, which, while it has a wide selection of games available on the Apple App Store, has fewer games that compare graphically or in terms of fun value to the vast number of games available for the S1. It will be interesting to see how the tablet creates a gaming interface since the S1 will not have any physical controls beyond the touchscreen.

The S1 will likely come with a version of Android Honeycomb, which Sony is heavily modifying and integrating with its own media and entertainment services. There is a possibility that the S1 will run a version of the upcoming Android release, Ice Cream Sandwich, which combines the phone and tablet versions of the operating system into a unified version. Honeycomb still has some ground to cover to compete with the user experience and quality of Apple’s iOS on the iPad 2, although it benefits from full Flash support, which Apple still refuses to include in their operating system.

Android for tablets has been available for only a few months, and this is evident in the app market. The Sony S1 tablet is expected to have fewer tablet-specific applications compared to the iPad 2, with only a few thousand available compared to tens of thousands for the iPad 2. However, this situation is rapidly improving, and there are also many apps that are not tablet-specific but can still take advantage of the superior screens and interface options of tablets compared to regular smartphones. As the sales of Android tablets have been strong so far, the tablet app landscape is likely to greatly improve by the time the S1 is released, attracting the interest of app developers.

Unfortunately, it seems that the S1 will come to the market too late with its specifications, as it will be a device of the iPad 2 generation, around six months after the iPad 2’s release. It is challenging to see Sony being able to effectively compete with the pricing of the iPad 2. The standout feature of the S1 seems to be its access to the PlayStation library of games. This situation mirrors Samsung’s first-generation tablet computer, which arrived late and quickly needed to be replaced with a new generation. Sony has been slow to react to the tablet market, and it may face challenges in competing effectively.
