Sony’s first Android tablets, the S1, are now officially named the Tablet S. The two tablets will be released within the first two weeks of September. These Sony Android tablets boasts a 9.4 inch screen with 1280×768 resolution. They come with Android 3.1 Honeycomb. The main feature of these tablet models is home entertainment integration. These babies have integrated IR blaster that can control home theater devices. Unfortunately, only the DLNA-compatible hardware syncs with these devices.

A front-facing 3-megapixel camera and a rear-facing 5 megapixel camera is attached in these tablets. Also wireless keyboard and dock and connector dongles are also built within these Android-based tablets. This tablet is also PlayStation certified, meaning, these tablets are game optimized aside from being a full-blown entertainment device. The price is uncertain but prepare for a high one.

You might think that the e-book reader price wars have already begun between Amazon and Barnes & Noble, but there’s another player in the field, and for it the game is just getting started. Another maker of e-book readers (and could perhaps be classified as a pioneer of the market itself), Sony has recently started slashing prices of several e-book readers that it has on sale. The price cuts differ across models and range from as low as $20 for the Pocket Edition Sony e-book reader to up to $60 for the Pocketbook 301 Sony e-book reader. What’s weird is that after all of the price cuts, Sony’s e-book readers still cost more than your average Kindle or Nook if their current prices are taken into consideration. And both of those alternatives also offer valid reasons to believe why Sony’s offerings aren’t exactly the best that you could buy for your money. Read on for more details about the Sony e-reader price cuts at the link below.

Sony’s latest netbook offering, the VAIO M is now being stocked by US retailers.  Listed as the VPCM111AX/W, it’s currently available to order from TigerDirect for $379.99, who have it in stock ready to ship. J&R also have the netbook listed for pre-order at 99 cents less. Both companies only have the white model but, hopefully the black model will follow soon.

J&R currently have the VAIO M listed with a display resolution of 1366 x 768, which is incorrect and should be amended soon. The VAIO W on the other hand does feature that resolution, for a not so budget friendly price.

Over at CNET, the guys have got hold of Sony’s newest Vaio W model which is eco friendly. They report it looks almost exactly like the original Vaio W but, the case is made from recycled materials, 20% of which is from recycled CDs. The specs of the device remain the same apart from the CPU. Sony have replaced the Intel Atom N270 and now use the N450 CPU, which is more energy efficient.

As well as looking a lot like the original, CNET report that it also feels like the original as well. Which is a good thing, as it means the chassis is sturdy and has a crisp screen resolution. One thing that hasn’t changed though, which was a complaint in the original Vaio W, is that they keyboard feels cramped. The netbook is currently available for pre-order from Amazon for $479.99.

The Sony VAIO W11S1E was previously available from PC World in the UK for delivery only. Collection from store wasn’t possible and now ordering it, isn’t at all. Not from PC World anyway. Those following the direct link to the 10 inch netbook from Sony will find themselves redirected to the netbook page, with no sign of any Sony netbook in sight.

It is however, still available from Amazon.co.uk. All color models are still currently in stock from £330.

We all know how expensive the Sony Vaio X is. But this won’t stop us from covering it if only because we got to admit that the said machine is definitely something to drool for. If only Sony was kind enough to price it a little bit cheaper then I might consider buying it. But we can’t definitely blame Sony since the Vaio X’s cool and sleek design might suffer if they will bring down its price.

Anyway, T3 is running a comprehensive review of the Sony Vaio X, complete with high-res photos and videos. You may check out the Sony Vaio X Review here or read key higlights listed below.

• all componenets of the Vaio X were soldered to the motherboard on side.
• front half of the Vaio X is taken by a thin and flat battery
• drop-down legs on the rear of the device lets you to connect an Ethernet port
• decent spacing for keyboards, large enough for a comfortable typing
• small but responsive mouse pad.
• excellent color reproduction  of the 11.1 inch screen
• its 256GD SSD boost the 2.0GHz Z550 performance
• not really solid carbon fibre shell.
