We told you Sony is working on its Honeycomb tablets and voila… they’re almost here. At the moment, the two devices — S1 and S2 — have been unveiled in Japan, but we assume they will be exported to the other parts of the world in no time at all.
The first of the two devices, S1, is a 9.4-inch Honeycomb tablet with a small curve at the top, resembling a folded magazine. It gets its power from NVidia’s Tegra 2 processor, while also rocking other “standard for a Honeycomb tablet” features like 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, sensors and we guess tons of built-in storage. Interestingly enough, it’s a PlayStation Certified device, allowing its future owners to enjoy PlayStation One games on it. Moreover, it also supports Sony’s Qriocity service, acting as a remote control for other Sony products.
The other tablet is S2 and it’s a clamshell-shaped device with two 5.5-inch touchscreens which can work either separately or as one big screen. In that sense we think of this baby as the Kyocera Echo on steroids. Specs include the same Tegra 2 processor, 3G data, some camera and so on.
Both the S1 and S2 will be launched in Japan by fall. Hopefully, the rest of the world won’t have to wait for too long afterwards…

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
