Tablets have become a mainstream device and when one thinks of a
tablet, for the most part, the vision that comes to mind is a device
that has a single touchscreen. There are many companies that now
manufacture tablets as part of their offerings and Sony is one such
company.
Within their product line-up, Sony does
have a unique device on their hand known as the Sony Tablet P. What
makes this device distinct from the majority of other devices on the
market today is that this tablet has a form factor that is similar to
the Nintendo DS with its dual screens. Customers that have purchased
this Android tablet will be happy to hear that the most current version
of Android or Android 4.0 which is also known as Ice Cream Sandwich is
slowly being pushed down to these tablets. It was in April when the
company first announced that a handful of markets would start to receive
ICS but seeing as how there have been no major issues reported, Sony
has elected to expand the roll-out of ICS to even more markets. When
you consider that this device does not have the standard single display
tablet form factor, customizing Android to ensure that is was bug free
for this tablet was an accomplishment.
With Android 4.0, the Sony Tablet P will now enjoy a few new features
such as Near Field Communication (NFC) which can be used for data
sharing, text to speech as well as the ability to unlock your device
using facial scanning technology.
