At an event in Tokyo, Sony's Kunimasa Suzuki unveiled two tablet devices, the S1 and S2, which run on Google's Android 3.0 Honeycomb platform.
The first tablet, the S1, comes with a 9.4 inch touch screen and has been designed for rich media entertainment and web browsing. The tablet has been designed to give feel of a folded magazine or a newspaper.
The second tablet, the S2, comes with a unique clamshell design that combines both rich media entertainment and mobile communications. The tablet also features two 5.5-inch touch screen, poised like the ones found on Nintendo DS.
Sony said that both the tablets will have access to Sony's Qriosity media service that offers both music and video streaming services and the PlayStation Suite, which will allow users to play first generation PlayStation games on the move. Users will also have access to Sony's Reader ebook store to turn their devices into e-readers. The devices will also come with both 3G and 4G connectivity.
"Sony Tablet delivers an entertainment experience where users can enjoy cloud-based services on-the-go at any time. We're aiming to create a new lifestyle by integrating consumer hardware, including ‘Sony Tablet' with content and network," said Kunimasa Suzuki, Corporate Executive, SVP, and Deputy President of Consumer Products & Services Group in a statement.
Sony offers a number of products in a variety of product lines around the world. Sony has developed a music playing robot called Rolly, dog-shaped robots called AIBO, humanoids, and QRIO.
In May 1956, the company released the TR-6, which featured an innovative slim design and sound quality capable of rivaling portable tube radios. It was for the TR-6 that Sony first contracted "Atchan", a cartoon character created by Fuyuhiko Okabe, to become its advertising character. Now known as "Sony Boy", the character first appeared in a cartoon ad holding a TR-6 to his ear, but went on to represent the company in ads for a variety of products well into the mid-sixties. The following year, 1957, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo came out with the TR-63 model, then the smallest (112 × 71 × 32 mm) transistor radio in commercial production. It was a worldwide commercial success.
University of Arizona professor Michael Brian Schiffer, Ph.D., says, "Sony was not first, but its transistor radio was the most successful. The TR-63 of 1957 cracked open the U.S. market and launched the new industry of consumer microelectronics." By the mid 1950s, American teens had begun buying portable transistor radios in huge numbers, helping to propel the fledgling industry from an estimated 100,000 units in 1955 to 5,000,000 units by the end of 1968.
Sony's headquarters moved to Minato, Tokyo from Shinagawa, Tokyo around the end of 2006.
