14 DAY TRIAL // Sony may or may not have succeeded in giving the Tablet P an aura of awesome, we'll let buyers decide that on their own, but it did manage to make it stand apart from all other tablets out there.
Simply, it isn't actually a tablet, but two tablets that can fold together like a clamshell.
There was no shortage of media coverage for this thing ever since the first pictures of it trickled to the web, months ago.
The touch panels (there are two of them) have a size of 5.5 inches each and boast the TruBlack LCD technology which Sony uses for its BRAVIA HDTV series as well.
The NVIDIA Tegra 2 SoC is the ARM platform that lies at the heart of the gadget, so the TFT LCDs with resolution of 1024 x 480 pixels will definitely be put to work.
1 GB of memory backs the 1 GHz processor, while 4 GB of built-in storage hold the operating system and whatever files users wish.
Speaking of storage, a microSD card reader is, predictably enough, part of the product's configuration (for microSD and microSDHC).
Sony threw in a micro USB port as well, plus the obligatory 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and GPS.
Other specs include an accelerometer, digital compass, gyroscope, ambient light sensor, built-in speaker and microphone, a 0.3 megapixel camera and on a front, as well as a 5-megapixel one on the back.
Finally, the Android 3.2 operating system runs on it for as long as the battery allows, which is up to seven hours.
No reviews of it are available yet, but one can get it for £499 in the UK, which means $773 or 582 Euro.
It will probably be cheaper than in the US when it shows up there, which should be soon, though.
