Sony unveils S1 and S2 Android tablets

    Sony S1 and S2 tablets

    Sony has entered the burgeoning tablet market with the S1 and S2, two Android Honeycomb devices that will go on sale in the autumn.

    The S1, pictured above on the left, has a 9.4-inch screen and what Sony referred to in a statement as an "off-centre of gravity" design, which aims to offer an easy grip. The S2, to the right, is a foldable device with two 5.5-inch displays that make it possible to do things such as having email on one screen and a soft keyboard on the other.

    Honeycomb is the name for Android 3.0, the first version of Google's mobile operating system to be optimised for tablets. Both 'S1' and 'S2' are codenames, and Sony has not yet said what the final naming for the devices will entail, nor what they will cost or precisely when they will go on sale.
