Sony SGPT112US/S Review by Lee A. Pendergast "Book worm" (Napa)

Sony SGPT112US/S Wi-Fi Tablet (32GB)Very poor wifi reception, Sony had no fix available . The other parts of the tablet operated well, just wouldn't stay linked with router 20 feet away, all other devices worked fine, even when outside. Sony you need to step up a resolve this and you will have a great product. Returned and went with Ipad 2, No disappointment there

Sony SGPT112US/S Review by jwb1969

The Sony Tablet is a replacement for my initial Acer Iconia I lost/had stolen. The Sony tablet h/w-wise handles relatively fluidly. Some apps can be buggy, but that is their dev's fault. Still Android store lags behind in comparison to apps for iPad, and their store has no functional way to separate between phone and tablet. But for the tablet review, Does what tablets do, with no major difference between other tabs. Sony's strong suit for their tab is the interesting wedge shape. Which does aid in holding potrait mode, which I rarely do. But it does offer a slight angle up when layed on it's back. Plus the Sony tablet has an IR port which I missed from the days of my old HP IPAQ's, I enjoyed being able to change channels at the airport or at a bar. Really freaks out the staff and customers. All in all a decent tablet, I popped in a 16GB SD card and my 16GB is now 32GB. Unfortunately, unlike the Acer has no video out. I am happy with what it does.(Oh, and this time I installed security software to locate the device if misplaced or stolen.) Oh and no flash either for the Sony, granted most techies have their own real camera for any meaningful pics, but a flash would have been nice, especially for the flashlight app.

Sony SGPT112US/S Review by Terri Lim (Jersey City, NJ, US)

This is my first tablet so take my review for what it's worth. I've had this baby for 4 days now. I decided to get a tablet mainly to entertain myself during my commute...videos, games, web browsing and reading. Carrying around my 3 lb Sony laptop was getting cumbersome with everything else I carry in my bag. So the size of a tablet became more appealing not to mention the fact that almost everyone on the bus either had a tablet or a reader...peer pressure! It is a 2 hour commute each way o_O Keep in mind that I've been a blackberry user for many years and just recently my job gave me an android phone. So I started experimenting with android apps and grew tired of pinching, zooming and squinting. I considered an Ipad but didn't not want to be restricted to paying for apps and I hear transfering music from multiple devices to an apple product is a headache so I leaned towards an android. I also considered the bb playbook but the android market is not available "yet" on that.
I am a big fan of Sony. My Sony laptops last FOREVER. So naturally I leaned towards the Sony over any other android tablet. I purchased mine directly from Sony. As much as I love Amazon I could not pass up the deal since it came with $200 worth of accessories for free and 12 month interest free financing.

Pros:
+I love the way it looks and feels in my hand.
+The audio and video is amazing...it is a Sony after all.
+The responsiveness to games like labyrinth is smooth.
+The touch screen is responsive.
+Not sure yet what the advantages are that it is a PS3 certified device...I do have a PS3 sitting on my entertainment center collecting dust along with the rock band equipment so maybe there's something I can do with it.
+The size is perfect for what I use it for, any bigger in terms of screen area and well I might as well use my laptop.
+Battery life is good. I haven't bench marked it but like the fact that I can watch a 2 hour movie, play games and browse all day with it holding a charge where my cell phone would die right after a movie probably.

Nuisances:
-It takes about 3 to 5 seconds for the Sony logo to appear after pressing the power button when turning it on. Once I pressed it to turn it on, thought I didn't press it long enough, pressed it again and again and a screen appeared asking me to confirm restoring the device to factory settings. So now I know to wait a few seconds.

-The volume controls are too close to the power button. I was watching a movie and wanted to adjust the volume and instead pressed the power button. You get a confirmation pop-up when pressing the power button to confirm but still annoying.

-The little door thingy for the SD card and USB port is so unnecessary IMHO and hard to open and get out of the way to insert a SD card.

-I've had several apps crash on me but I think that's more due to the app then the hardware I am reviewing...

-Charging port is weird. Would have been nice if it was the standard Sony power port found in their laptops...I have a ton of those power supplies but I am not an engineer so maybe it HAD to be different and weird??

So that's it so far. Hope it helps you decide. If I remember I will come back and give an update after using this for a few months.
