Till now just a dream that the Japanese saw, is now on a verge of becoming true! Sony is on its way of launching two new tablet computers that are designed in such a convincing way that is expectedly to beat the Apple’s well demanded iPad.
Making it a remarkable difference to the users, Sony has launched these tablets with two unique names- ‘S’ and ‘P’ models, with one of them designed with two separate screens that fold together. When compared to the sales of these tablets with those of Apple’s iPad, they are said to be sold only with a meager marginal difference.
Taking a totally different approach to prove itself wise, the company has announced the wearable 3D visor at IFA in Berlin. Turns out the company is actually going to make it, and the HMZ-T1 is scheduled to be released in Japan on November 11th. While the design has changed slightly since we first laid our eyes, and heads, on it, the specs appear to be the same, with two 1280×720 0.7-inch OLED panels mounted in front of each eye giving the wearer an experience similar to viewing a 750-inch screen from 20m away, as well as 5.1 surround sound from headphones integrated into the Head Mounted Display (HMD). You can see the helmet above, as well as the processor unit (complete with HDMI input and output, so you can take off the helmet and watch on TV) that it must remain tethered to. Pricing is expected to be 60,000 yen ($783 US).
Sony’s S series has a unique feature that it has an inbuilt infrared transmitter that can replace any remote control. This feature is expected to work with other manufacture’s devices as well, sources said. Adding one more million dollar in its pocket, Sony has incorporated a feature which is capable of reading a series of input devices and playing it on any other device that the user wants provided it is online .
Analyst Ben Wood, of CCS Insight, says he thinks all tablets that aren’t iPads are a ”tough sell”, citing the recent withdrawal of HP from the market. And, like HP, Sony is to sell its devices at the same prices as Apple. It’s a brave move, reflecting how costly tablets are to make. It remains to be seen whether Sony can make even a dent on the iPad figures – but they’ve certainly set a new benchmark.
