Again, thank you for providing some of the most accurate, thorough, and professional technology reviews on RUclips! I still like to just sit and watch reviews, even if I'm not interested in the product. I feel like I'm learning when I watch these. Keep up the good work! Anything on the Sony Tablet P coming up soon? Looks like an interesting design, and I'm interested in what you have to say about it.
i watch lots and lots of reviews before spending my hard earned cash on a product. this is the best and most indepth review i have seen. thank you for your time making this video.
@ichiro0215 The Sony Tablet S doesn't have an HDMI output unfortunately, it supports DLNA wireless streaming. IF you need to use a tablet with a protector, check out a tablet that has HDMI out port.
Great review as always. I'm glad you make such long, informative reviews that don't sound robotic or boring. I'm always happy watching the reviews made, since you seem genuinely happy making them. =] You give honesty, focus on the good things of whatever it is you are reviewing and don't compare every little bit of it to another touch pad. If you compare something, it's simply for a good reason and not to say "This other one is better, this one sucks, buy the other."
@wellsshinee No, there isn't a way to create different categories in the Sony Tablet S' ebook reader app. You can mark titles as Favorite and it will in your Favorite list, but that's about it. You can sort books by title/author/date etc., but can't create categories.
Lisa, awesome review. Keep frequenting this channel very often in the hope that a new review would be put up. Can't get any better than this. One feedback for this review though. Would have been great if the brightness on the tab could have been increased. The screen looked pretty dull.
@Shadowthehedgehog835 It's hard to say which one is better for you-- they're both good. Depends if you want a really thin tablet, or the lightweight wedge of the Sony.
This is a very professional and very nice review. I like the way the features are presented and that it has been compared in a professional way to the other devices. It makes me feel like going to buy one right now. Very good job! This is the best review I have seen for this tablet
@flafla61 It doesn't come with an Office suite of apps to do that, but you can get one to create Office files (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) on the Android Market.
@maitroyer Wow! That's indeed a long time! Great to have you with us! :) These are two rather different tablets with different designs, ports, etc. but united by Android OS. Check out our very detailed reviews on the web site, and see which form factor you like better, port availability (do you need HDMI out or can use DLNA), content availability (use Crackle, playstation games, etc.), etc...
Thanks for this review, i would have loved to see a video of you actually using it as a remote and controlling some devices as that is the primary reason I am more interested in this tablet. Thanks again, third review of this tablet i have watched lol. Subscribed!
I have the device. Yes, you can do video chats with it it has a front facing and a rear facing camera for taking pictures or video chatting. It truly is a great tablet and i love it a lot it's about a year old on the market and I still think it's one of the greatest :) hope this helps you
Great review! I noticed you started using a logo in the corner. My advice would be to try and get it a little more justified in the corner, and maybe even if possible turn the opacity down just a tad so its not too intrusive on the video. Cheers.
Respond to this video... For movies, I wouldn't transfer then to internal memory, just play them from the card. You can do that using the file transfer app or a 3rd party file manager. Just tap on the file to play it in the video player. For things like music where you'd like many songs to appear in the player, it makes sense to copy them to internal memory.
really love watching your reviews and i've been waiting for you to do one on the sony tablet. i'm from the philippines, would you know when sony plans to release this to the rest of the world? :)
@sahil1105 Not easy to recommend a tablet without knowing what you need or want. We have in-depth reviews of both tablets here and on our web site. Perhaps they will help you pick the right one for you? Also check out some of the comparisons we did as well.
Hey Lisa,well like always loved comprehensive review.I was wondering which tablet will you suggest, i don't care about the OS, i just want the most of my tab...so iPad 2 ,Sony Tablet S etc.?
@rodrigog1519 The Sony Tablet S is excellent for reading books and playing videos. It doesn't come with an Office suite however, you can download free versions for viewing and paid versions for editing. It reads PDF beautifully.
I bought this tab a week ago and honestly I am loving it. The only problem I have is watching videos on the youtube app. It does buffer a lot which is a pain.
Hi, great review! There is one thing I'm not too certain about though, which is the Sony Reader app. Do you know if it's possible to make different categories/collections, kind of like how you can do in iBooks to organize PDF files? I know it can load PDF's, but it'd be quite useless for me since for school, I need to keep my PDF's for every class separate from each other.. thanks!
Would you recommend this tablet for class work such as note-taking and viewing/editing/creating Powerpoint presentations? Or do you think I would be better off with a laptop or netbook?
Great review, even though I didn't understand all the honeycomb and gingerbread nonsense it was one of the best reviews that didn't leave anything out. Answered all my questions! :)
Does the tablet play Netflix? Great review as a matter of fact the best even Sony does not give a review like this one bravo to you. I will no longer look for reviews anyplace else no one does better than you thanks.
hi Lisa, i have a few questions here i hope you can help me with them, did we saw some lag in some parts when you were showing us the books and videos? also does the refraction that we see on screen is real or it looks augmented on the video? How good is this for reading office docs and pdf? and one personal, for a college student, that owns a ps3 and nothing more of sony, which would you recommend: sony s, samsung galaxy 10.1 or 8.9 or wait for rumors of TF2 suposedly to be released on oct!? ty
Thank you so much for this demo. I just ordered one from BB. I wonder if Sony has a "in house" kind of email system? This is the best I can describe it. What I mean is something like what iPad has with all your emails put in one place. I use Outlook and I need all the emails, calendar and contacts transferred to it. Is this possible with this Sony? Thanks, PW
Can you please help me with a decision? I am chosing between two tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Sony? You're really my deal breaker so could you concisely say which one is better and why?
Mobiletechreview, i'm stuck between this tablet, the transformer infinity, and the toshiba excite 10. Quad core isn't a breaking point for me since those tablets all seem to run pretty smooth. Is there anything about this tablet that you think would sway me away from it?
Whats the story with wifi only? I noticed sometimes companies only offer the wifi first. My wifi is choppy so its always good to be able to switch to 3G!
A work intern was so so kind to let me navigate thru his Sony Tablet. It's so stylish. The keyboard is receptive. The camera pictures came out extremely beautiful. What bugged me was that it doesn't come with a stand so you gotta get a hard cover case and just make it stand like that. What I didn't reconfirm with my senses is whether it has a USB jack so that I can insert in a external hard drive etc. Can anyone confirm this? Oh! i realised that this is a year old. Is there a new one comin?
hi since you got the sony tablet please can you tell me if photos on sd cards can be played without transferring to tablets and if they can be played on sony galary as a slide show thanks in advance
1 quick question. So I'm new to tablets and stuff but I think this is the right one for me. Anyway this might sound stupid but can you make a shortcut of a website say on one of the desktops or the app-page?
I have to say that I've been watching your reviews lately of cell phones and tablets and I love how comprehensive and thoughtful they are. Good job!
beyond excellent review, your one of the "not so many" reviewers that i can actually listen to for more than 5 mins. :)
Again, thank you for providing some of the most accurate, thorough, and professional technology reviews on RUclips! I still like to just sit and watch reviews, even if I'm not interested in the product. I feel like I'm learning when I watch these. Keep up the good work!

@w4r7 You can use a capacitive stylus or your finger draw on the Sony Tablet S in apps that support it.
@ajaxstationers You can view photos on the SD card via file manager, the Gallery app doesn't see them or do a slideshow with the photos on a card.
i watch lots and lots of reviews before spending my hard earned cash on a product. this is the best and most indepth review i have seen. thank you for your time making this video.
@cliffandy Thank you very much, Cliff! Very much appreciate the support!
@ichiro0215 The Sony Tablet S doesn't have an HDMI output unfortunately, it supports DLNA wireless streaming. IF you need to use a tablet with a protector, check out a tablet that has HDMI out port.
Lisa, you are my favorite reviewer for a good reason. Excellent job again!
Great review as always. I'm glad you make such long, informative reviews that don't sound robotic or boring. I'm always happy watching the reviews made, since you seem genuinely happy making them. =] You give honesty, focus on the good things of whatever it is you are reviewing and don't compare every little bit of it to another touch pad. If you compare something, it's simply for a good reason and not to say "This other one is better, this one sucks, buy the other."
@curtflirt2 The port on the Sony Tablet S isn't an MHL port, so even if you get a cable, it won't work with HDMI.
@wellsshinee No, there isn't a way to create different categories in the Sony Tablet S' ebook reader app. You can mark titles as Favorite and it will in your Favorite list, but that's about it. You can sort books by title/author/date etc., but can't create categories.
@extopher Thank you very much! Glad you like our reviews. Please share them with your friends. Thanks! :)

One feedback for this review though. Would have been great if the brightness on the tab could have been increased. The screen looked pretty dull.
@LetsPlayWithKyle1 Very glad you like it!! Please share reviews with friends. ;)
@lachter786 So far the Sony Tablet S is still WiFi in the US. If Japan has 3G version, ask them if it's on GSM or CDMA as they have both.
This is the best demo video Ive seen yet. Great job! Thanks for this thorough video.
@lavendertwilight08 Yes, you can connect the tablet to your computer via USB.
@Shadowthehedgehog835 It's hard to say which one is better for you-- they're both good. Depends if you want a really thin tablet, or the lightweight wedge of the Sony.
The most detailed and professional reviews out there! :)
This is a very professional and very nice review. I like the way the features are presented and that it has been compared in a professional way to the other devices. It makes me feel like going to buy one right now. Very good job! This is the best review I have seen for this tablet
Not all games support the controller, but Crash does. Check out our video demo of playing Crash with a controller on the Tablet S on our channel.
@Cahluvca It didn't. But Netflix finally is available for Android Honeycomb tablets now. We tested it on the Sony Tablet S, it worked fine.
@TamaDrummer5309 Thank you for the feedback. Please share our reviews with others. We will see about the Tablet P review.
@flafla61 It doesn't come with an Office suite of apps to do that, but you can get one to create Office files (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) on the Android Market.

@BDx437 I'm left handed and have no issues using it.
@katsurugi2k8 Thank you so much for the support! Please do share our reviews with friends. Thanks! :)
@hmujah1 Yes, both tablets can view PDF files.
@RickkoD1982 You can load your own books via USB and sd card.
@drum101keane The UK sells the WiFi version as well. Check with your cell carriers, they will tell you if they offer a 3G version.
Thanks for taking the time to share with us your experiences.
Sincerely appreciate it.
Peace!
Thanks for this review, i would have loved to see a video of you actually using it as a remote and controlling some devices as that is the primary reason I am more interested in this tablet.
Thanks again, third review of this tablet i have watched lol. Subscribed!
@heshamezz Only via DLNA wireless, there's no HDMI port.
I have the device. Yes, you can do video chats with it it has a front facing and a rear facing camera for taking pictures or video chatting. It truly is a great tablet and i love it a lot it's about a year old on the market and I still think it's one of the greatest :) hope this helps you
@drum101keane Thanks! The US version has only WiFi, no 3g.
wow this review is very professional
I also liked how you used exact specifications of everything
@SlowMotion1137 Umm... cause it's out available yet.
@uchijaaa We covered this in our full written review. Check it out by following the link in the video description.

Awesome job as always Lisa. I really like this Tablet. I may have to pick this up.
Would you recommend this tablet for class work such as note-taking and viewing/editing/creating Powerpoint presentations? Or do you think I would be better off with a laptop or netbook?
@4256Conroy Check out apps like DoubleTwist for syncing Android to iTunes.
Hi! is wifi reception good?
Btw, great reviews in the channel!
Great review, even though I didn't understand all the honeycomb and gingerbread nonsense it was one of the best reviews that didn't leave anything out. Answered all my questions! :)
@tacit25 About 6.5 hours in a mix of tasks like email, surfing, music and playing a few short videos.
Does the tablet play Netflix? Great review as a matter of fact the best even Sony does not give a review like this one bravo to you. I will no longer look for reviews anyplace else no one does better than you thanks.
@MobileTechReview hmmm, lisa why haven't you played the usual 1080p files this time?
i think it struggles with it or doesn't play it at all.
hi Lisa, i have a few questions here i hope you can help me with them, did we saw some lag in some parts when you were showing us the books and videos? also does the refraction that we see on screen is real or it looks augmented on the video?

Great review, and great song in the end!
@petterongo Appreciate the comment!
so can you put your own ebook files onto this tablet (through usb / sdcard / whatever) or do you have to buy them from a store like the iPad?
@jamboarder Thank you so much! Please share our reviews. Thanks!! ;-)
Thanks for the review. You sound professional and human at the same time, something that many other people need to work on. Great product too!
Thank you so much for this demo. I just ordered one from BB. I wonder if Sony has a "in house" kind of email system? This is the best I can describe it.

would you be able upgrade this new the newer versions of android? also would windows 8 OS work on something with this?
Whats the story with wifi only? I noticed sometimes companies only offer the wifi first. My wifi is choppy so its always good to be able to switch to 3G!
@mrlbattle1 Not yet. Hopefully soon.
Hello MobileTechReview- Can you get the American Journal of Nursing on this device.
@MobileTechReview do you think sony will change the file transfer from sd card to expand the memory thanks
Dear MobileTechReview. would you reccomend this or the Nexus 7?
Thanks!

I'm either going to get this or the samsung 32g. But its such a hard decision, witch would you prefer?
Im waiting for my 32g sony s to arrive any day now, thanks for such a through review!
Hey Lisa I got a question about this tablet. Does it have an app killer or do I need to download one from the Android Market?
Mobile techreview, what is the part number on that AC Adapter. I lost mine and can't locate the correct one.
When are u going to do a review on the sony Xperia tablet s
Hey I was wondering is there a limit of 32gb sd cards or can you have any amount of SD cards like 64gb?
1 quick question. So I'm new to tablets and stuff but I think this is the right one for me. Anyway this might sound stupid but can you make a shortcut of a website say on one of the desktops or the app-page?
