It’s taken Sony a while to join the tablet party, but anything from a firm famous for its pin-sharp displays and desirable PCs is going to be worth waiting for. And it’s in the form of the S1 – or Sony Tablet S – that is Sony’s main new tablet.

From what we know so far, the new PlayStation-certified tablet and its sibling, the S2, are very desirable indeed – so what do we actually know, when can we get our hands on one and where do we go to pre-order? Let’s find out.

The Sony S1 is a traditional tablet

While the Sony S2 is doing something very different, the Sony S1 tablet is in iPad territory: as you’ll see from our photo-tastic Sony S1 update, the device is a typically rectangular ten-incher with a curved, tapered body.

The Sony S1 features include DLNA

There’s no HDMI port, but the Sony S1 feature list includes DLNA compatibility for streaming media to and from DLNA-compatible devices (Windows is DLNA-compatible too) and infra-red control of Bravia televisions. Buttons are minimal: power, volume and a recessed reset button – and ports are limited to USB.

The Sony S1 specs are gamer-friendly

The S1 is a PlayStation tablet, which means you’ll be able to play first-generation PlayStation titles on it.

The Sony S1 is an Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet

A dual-core Tegra processor is likely – some sites are hoping for a quad-core version, but there’s no concrete evidence of that – and the Sony S1 operating system will be Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The obligatory front- and rear-facing cameras are there too. Does anybody actually use their tablets for videoconferencing? Do let us know.

Sony S1 specs and memory

The Sony S1 will come in two flavours: Wi-Fi only, and Wi-Fi plus 3G. Each will have 16GB and 32GB editions.

The Sony S1 release date is in September

The Sony S1 release date has been leaked, and it’s in September – just in time for the all-important Christmas shopping season. Engadget says John Lewis is on board to sell the S1 and S2 from day one, and of course they’ll be in your friendly neighbourhood Sony Centre too. However, it’s unclear whether you’ll actually be able to get your hands on a Sony S1 in September: pre-orders start on the 1st of September, which suggests that deliveries may take a little longer. Still, we’ve been waiting all year, so what’s another week or two?

The Sony S1 UK price will be hefty

The S1 price hasn’t been announced yet, but we’re talking about Sony here: premium products mean premium prices, so don’t expect the S1 to be duking it out with ASDA’s £99 Android cheapie.

While Sony stays quiet on specific specifications of its upcoming Sony S1 and Sony S2, an anonymous source has leaked some new details about the twin tablets.

Speaking to Cnet, the source claims that both models will offer 16GB and 32GB editions, with the flat S1 coming in both Wi-Fi only and 3G + Wi-Fi models.

The Sony S1 will also offer an SD memory card reader, while the 9.4-inch display comes with TruBlack and Bravia technologies.

Battery life

The source reckoned the battery life is “comparable to the iPad 2″, and a range of accessories will be released for the S1 including a dock and a Bluetooth keyboard.

The Sony S2, Sony’s weird, foldable cylinder tablet, is said to be available only in a 3G + Wi-Fi version.

As we reported when we got our eyes on the tablets for the first time, both the S1 and S2 will come with “the latest version of Android” (probably Honeycomb)

With the official product names yet to be revealed, the tech world is gearing up for Sony to launch both the S1 and S2 at or just before this year’s IFA in early September.

If two heads are better than one, does the same apply to screens?

Sony clearly thinks so, because its forthcoming S2 tablet boasts not one but two touchscreens.

So is the S2 a gimmick, or a gamer’s perfect portable? Let’s see.

The Sony S2 specs are interesting

While most of the Sony S2 specifications are fairly typical – dual-core Tegra, Android Honeycomb (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has been rumoured, but that seems unlikely), twin cameras – it has one very big and very obvious extra: a second screen.

Instead of the ten-ish inch screens we’ve become familiar with, the Sony S2 has a pair of 5.5-inch touchscreens. That makes it more portable than most – you can fold the S2 and chuck it in a pocket – and it also makes it more interesting than a typical tablet.

The Sony S2 features could depend on what you’re doing

As we reported in our Sony S2 update earlier this year, the Sony S2 features could vary from application to application: because the twin screens can operate independently the Sony S2 could split media between its screens, or it could use one screen for controlling the other, or games could use one screen for action and one screen for maps, inventory and so on.

It’ll be interesting to see how that works with movies: will you have to squint at a single screen, or put up with hinges halfway across the picture?

Sony isn’t letting anyone near the damn thing

When Sony showed off the Sony S2 tablet to the press earlier this month, nobody was allowed to see it in action. “We were only allowed to eyeball the lifeless slate from outside the confines of a perspex box,” we duly reported back. Our impressions? “It didn’t seem much bigger than a Nintendo 3DS”.

The Sony S2 release date is in September

Like its sibling, the Sony S1, the Sony S2 will be available in John Lewis, Sony Centres and no doubt the usual online suspects from September. However, while the Sony S2 release date is in September, we don’t know exactly when: you’ll be able to pre-order the S2 from 1 September, but Sony hasn’t said when you’ll actually get to take your shiny new tablet home with you. We can’t imagine you’ll have to wait long, though, as Sony won’t want to lose any sales in the incredibly lucrative pre-Christmas shopping season.

The Sony S2 UK price probably won’t be cheap

The S1 price hasn’t been announced yet, but Sony is a premium brand and the Sony S2 specs are pretty hefty, so we’re not holding our breath for Tesco Value prices. Early rumours suggested a price in excess of £500, but Sony won’t be drawn on that just yet. It’s probably a good idea to start saving, just in case.

After months of teasing us with official images and fun yet odd videos, Sony finally showed of its tablet combo in the UK today – with both the Sony S1 and S2 getting an airing in London.

Our excitement of seeing the tablets in the flesh was dampened two-fold, however.

The first being that they weren’t turned on (early samples that can’t handle the pressure of journo’s hands apparently) and they were encased in an, er, case.

This didn’t stop us snapping a few pictures of the tablets and trying to figure out what all the connectors and buttons on the devices do.

As you can see from the shots, the S1 tablet sports a folded lip on the back. When we first heard about this we did think that this would add extra chunk to the device, but up close it a lot thinner than first imagined.

It is on each of the sides of this lip that you find the S1’s connections. On one side you have a headphone socket and underneath this a flap that hides USB connectivity.

On the other side there is a physical ‘on’ button, volume control and a pin-hole reset button – hopefully something you will never have to use.

Down the edge of the chassis there seemed to be an SD card slot and two holes on either side for speakers.

A logo on the back of the S1 indicated PlayStation (it has the button icons), which makes a lot of sense considering the S1 will connect up to the PlayStation Store.

The 9.4-inch screen on the S1 does look decent – even if we were just staring into a blank space.

We did manage to eek a little bit of information out of a Sony rep, however, that it will be using the latest Android for tablets (wouldn’t confirm is this will be Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich) and that there will be a slight Sony overlay on the OS, but this is merely to speed up the tablet.

One of the ways it will do this is with Quick View, which will load websites faster and there will also be some more software which will make the gesture control slicker than your average capacitive screen.

As there are many Sony service which will be linking with the S1 (including Qriocity), there will be some pretty cool integration with the tablet and your TV.

According to the Sony rep you will be able to physically flick media you are watching on the tablet on to your TV.

The Sony S1 tablet UK release date is autumn, with pricing to be announced.
