The Sony Tablet P: A First Look and Unboxing

As we boot up the device, we can see that it's running Android 3.2 Honeycomb, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich. We haven't received word on whether this version of Honeycomb will be receiving an update to Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's likely a given. The device measures 3.11 inches by 7.8 inches by 1.02 inches and weighs 13.1 ounces. It features two displays, both 5.5 inches in size with a resolution of 1024x480.

The dual-core processor is powered by NVIDIA's Tegra 2, which provides a boost in performance for a tablet of this size. The device comes equipped with 1 gig of RAM and 4 gigs of internal storage, although the microSD card slot allows for expansion up to 32 gigs. A 380 milliamp hour battery should provide around 7 hours of tablet time.

The camera capabilities on the Sony Tablet P are impressive, featuring a 5-megapixel shooter on the back and a 3-megapixel camera on the front. The rear camera is positioned in the center of the device, which may cause some issues with scrolling or typing. However, it's worth noting that this gap doesn't seem to affect performance too much.

On the left side of the device, there isn't much to see except for the power button, where the charging cable will be inserted when you want to sync your tablet. The micro USB port is located underneath a sliding door, which can be tricky to open. Above and below this door are the volume rockers and directional buttons.

The back of the device features Sony's PlayStation certification, which may appeal to gamers. However, it also comes with AT&T branding, suggesting that the device will be tied to their network. The top of the tablet is made of plastic, while the bottom has a metallic feel to it.

To test the performance of the device's display, we'll open up an app and scroll through some content. Watch as the messaging icon moves smoothly across the screen, ignoring the gap in the center. While this may not be noticeable in all situations, such as reading text-heavy websites, it's still worth mentioning. The device does have a PlayStation-certified aspect to it, which could make it fun for gaming.

In terms of pre-installed apps, we've got the default AT&T On browser, Square, Crash Bandicoot, and Music Unlimited. While this may seem like a lot of bloatware, Sony has included some free apps that are actually useful. The Free app selection is a welcome change from other tablets on the market.

Overall, the Sony Tablet P is an interesting device with a unique design. Its performance and camera capabilities are certainly worth considering, especially for those looking for a tablet with PlayStation certification. However, it's still important to weigh this against the crowded tablet market and consider whether it's worth your hard-earned cash. Leave your comments below and let us know what you think of the Sony Tablet P.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everyone John ringer from techn here with an unboxing of the dual screen Sony Tablet P this is a device I had a chance to First Take a look at about 6 months

phone esque box Sony Tablet P picture of the device we got some specs and features on there but we're going to run through all that anyway let's go ahead and dig in this think of this is like a 3DS made into a tablet and you can sort of get a sense of what this guy looks and feels like all right so quick start guide you know joke I'm going to make for getting started quickly so there's that go ahead and pull that out here is the Sony tet P wrapped nicely in plastic go ahead and pull it out of course we'll run through all the specs it's much smaller than you'd expect from a a tablet very thin cons certainly could fit in your pocket go ahead and see what that looks like next to my hand so I'll put that on the side for just a moment here is the 3,80 mAh battery going to be good for about 7 hours of tablet action we'll put that in in just a second let see what else we're going to get in the Sony Tablet P box got a power brick and certainly is a power brick with a proprietary little pin connector there and then the of course the cable that connects to set power brick and then some important information we'll see how important that is all right so let's go ahead and take a look at the Sony Tablet P we got some plastic on it so I shall remove said plastic I'll boot it up and we can run through the specs of this guy plastic is harder to remove than I thought aha no plastic is a match for my prye fingers go ahead and peel off the rest of this and we'll see what we got this was actually one of my most Pleasant surpris rises from IFA aside from that giant 75 in Samsung TV I really liked getting a chance to play with the Sony Tablet P so boom that's a Sony Tablet P one giant screen little bit of a gap in the middle we'll talk about that in just a second some cameras let's go ahead and pop in the battery which lives on the side somewhere so I'm going to go ahead and do that I'll be back in just a minute all right so the back of the Sony Tablet P is off it does come with a Micro SD card which is going to be of size 2 gigs so there you go uh removable battery so let's go ahead and Pop That in 3,80 milliamp hours I'll go ahead and do that it is nice that it's removable put the back back on and we will power this sucker up snap into place pretty easy now let's see if we can find a power button lives right there open it up and I'll run through the specs CU there's a lot crammed into this all right so this will boot up and let me tell you what the sabl tablet P the sablet C is and does um okay so we are looking at Android 3.2 honeycomb so Ice Cream Sandwich World honeycomb tablet uh we haven't heard weather not ice cream sandwich will be coming to this uh presumably though it will be so close I'm not going to close it while it's booting up your measurements are 3.11 in by 7.8 in by 1.02 in and open as we looking at it right now 6.22 in by 7.08 in by .54 in you can see that right there uh it weighs 13.1 o so it's made of two displays and they're both 5.5 in displays with resolution of 1024x 480 and of course well there two of them battery as I mentioned is 380 milliamp hours so going to give you about 7 hours of tablety time being powered by nvidia's Tegra 2 dual core processor so that's one gz on each Core 1 gig of RAM 4 gigs of internal storage but obviously expandable of micro SD in this case we had two gigs in there so six total cameras it has cameras we are looking at a 3 megapixel shooter on the front and on the back is where the action happens that's where the 5 megapixel shooter is going to live it's like the mullet of tablets it's got business in the front and then it's got the party camera in the back so it's got two of those AT&T's HSPA Plus network no LTE here Bluetooth 2.1 and Playstation certified all right let's get started we'll set up Wi-Fi later so I want to walk you through the tab button the rest of the device go next I don't want to do this now next next congratulations yay for me uh so it's going to look relatively standard gingerbread with some Sony tweaks on it all right so let's go ahead and walk through the tablet go and close it up boom let's see what we got so living on the left hand side we don't really have anything all the action happens boom right there on the right so there's the power button that's where your power plug is going to be if you want to sync this guy underneath this hard to open door it's where your micro USB CA is going to live push that door back down volume rockers up and down on the back it's where those hinges are you can see they protrude just a little bit and then nothing there uh the back is made of plastic but it does have sort of a metallic feel to it uh the top is plastic as well AT&T branding and then you've got that Sony PlayStation and certified branding meaning you can get your Crash Bandicoot on go ahead and open it up and there are those two 5.5 in screens so the big question for me was that Gap in the middle how's that going to feel as you scroll over and as you go ahead and sort of do your scrolling you don't really notice it all that much let's go ahead and open up let's go to apps somewhere where I can sort of scroll and you can see what that looks like as I sort of move up so watch that messaging icon right there as I scroll up and you can see it sort of just ignores that whole Gap and jumps right over it uh you feel it as your finger goes over it but it's not that bad uh we'll see how it goes though when I'm reading a lot of websites reading a lot of text that might be one instance where you certainly notice it and again that sort of PlayStation certified aspect might be kind of fun uh for gaming certainly imagine using this as an e-reader turn it sideways and you can go ahead and read like you with a standard book let's go ahead and take a look at the apps that are going to come pre-installed on this guys you got the default AT&T On's browser for square Crash Bandicoot told you uh Sony loves
