Sony Forays into Tablet Segment with Launch of Sony Tablet S

• Host of Inbuilt Apps Offer Holistic Entertainment Experience

• Cross-Device Connectivity Enables Better Network
Capability

Dubai-UAE: 19 December, 2011 – Sony, the leading consumer electronics brand, today
announced the launch of Sony Tablet S marking the company’s maiden venture into the tablet
landscape.

Sony Tablet S promises rich media entertainment on its 23.8cm (9.4 inch) high resolution
touchscreen. Its powerful NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile processor coupled with Sony’s rapid
response technologies allow for faster browsing of content and applications.

The Sony Tablet S model features a front and rear facing camera for still and video image
capture. The inbuilt USB 2.0 port and SD card slot permits direct file transfers from other
devices such as PCs, digital cameras or camcorders.

Weighing approximately 598 grams (WiFi version), the tablet’s unique asymmetrical design
conveys a sense of lightness for hours of comfortable use. The screen slopes gently when
placed on a flat surface, enhancing visibility and facilitating ease of typing.

The device is also equipped with TruBlack™ technology by Sony, which reduces reflection and
glares for high-contrast visibility by controlling the refraction of light between the LCD and the
screen. The tablet’s highly responsive and smooth touchscreen and large keys of its virtual
keyboard add to the comfort of usage.

Sony Tablet S lets you control your home entertainment devices and share content wirelessly
with friends and family. Personal photos, music and video content can be streamed at the
touch of a button from Sony Tablet S to DLNA-compatible TV sets, wireless speakers and other
devices.

Additionally, the tablet includes infrared technology and can be used as a fully customisable
remote control for multiple home devices, including your television, Blu-ray Disc™ player and
home theatre set-up. It is also compatible with ‘Media Remote’ that provides users with control
of Sony devices including ‘BRAVIA’ through WiFi.


The Sony Tablet S is embedded with a wide range of preinstalled applications for a holistic
experience on the video, music, games, eBooks and much more. Additionally, it provides instant
access to Google™ mobile services and applications, including 3D maps and easy web search
with Google Voice Search.

The inbuilt ‘Select App’ recommends applications, content and network services for Sony
Tablet that can be downloaded via Android Market™. Other preinstalled unique entertainment
applications by Sony include the Social Feed Reader, Music Player and Video Player.

Accessory options feature an AC adaptor, LCD screen protector, a variety of carrying cases,
USB adaptor cable and Bluetooth keyboard.

You may pre-book your Sony Tablet at selected outlets across UAE starting 20 December,
2011. The Sony Tablet S will be available at all leading electronic stores from January 2012.
