Sony Tablet P

In recent times, we've seen the tablet market overflow with devices claiming to be 'iPad killers'. Every other tablet just wanted to prove itself to be better than the iPad but while none have been better, only few such as Motorola (Xoom) and Samsung (Galaxy Tab 10.1) can claim to have come anywhere close.

On first impressions, the device looked like the Nokia communicator on steroids which isn't a good thing. The unique clamshell design is what caught our interest. The tablet folds right in the middle supported by two hinges on either side. The exterior is plastic-y with a silver finish that is quite capable of attracting scratches. The advantage of the design is that the screen remains protected at all times. Built solid, the Tablet P feels incredibly light at approximately 372g. The weight is evenly distributed and one won't feel tired holding it for longer durations.

Once you unfold the device, you get two 5.5-inch screens inches boasting Sony's TruBlack LCD technology. They however, do act as fingerprint magnets. There's a notification light that runs at the bottom. It flashes green for mail and social network notifications and changes colour to red to indicate low battery power.
