Pleasantly Surprised
When I ordered this tablet, I was not sure that I would love it but I did. Had to get use to the ergonomic design since most tablets are square. It performs really well and has great picture quality. It is innovative with nice features like the universal remote. It is light weight compared to some others as the screen is not typical glass. I'm getting the quality that I expected from Sony and expect the longevity as well.

Best so far
This is the second tablet ive had, the first one was an Acer tablet and I had it out of the box for about 2 hours then returned it, it was trash. But Ive had the Sony S Tablet for about 3 months now and ive loved it from day one. I use this for everything. I text with it, keep an eye on the weather, ive read a fiew books on it, check email, netflix, skype and alot more. Long story short I see this as one of the best things to drop out of Sony. Love this. :)

Graces My Living Room
I'm very pleased with the tab S. A lot of the early issues have apparently been fixed. I'm using the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, and it seem pretty sound. The remote control feature was easy to set up(no Sony HD tuner support though), and I added an app for a Google TV remote control that is great. Throwing media to the Google TV was somewhat of a problem, but I downloaded another app that solved that problem. Sending stuff to the tab S works well. The charger/dock is a great addition, especially if you have trouble plugging the power cord into the tablet: the tab slips into the dock with no problem and you can run useful apps, like "Cassandra" while the tab is in the dock. That gives you time, temperature and news while the tab isn't otherwise busy. Angry Birds, Pinball Heroes, Amazon Instant Video, Google Maps and traffic, etc., etc. The tab s is fun and useful.

Expensive Universal Remote
This tablet falls short of my expectations. I have many Sony products and have always been very happy with the quality of product that they produced, but this not up to the Sony standard! With a company that has some great sound, camera, and video products you would think that they could put out a product that would be at least equal to a standard phone?s video and camera. Sorry Sony, you missed this one. I didn?t buy my tablet for the camera and video, but I do like, listening to music, watching videos and streaming Netflix, but you better have an alternative speaker system or headphones because these speakers are poor quality!!! I have tried to adjust the speakers, and I have downloaded an equalizer app, but my phone beats this tablet in this category as well.
Okay I have my PSP and PS3 so I thought ?wow? a tablet that has the ?PlayStation? compatibility. The PS1 games are very limited in number and are low quality games. The controllers will work after you buy a 15 dollar adaptor, but I haven?t found any in the Google market that are compatible with the Sony controller and I?m not into anything that Sony is offering through the PlayStation store. I?ll stick with my PS3 if I want to game. I have updated my tablet with the new Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and ever since I have done this my tablet continually is going into a ?safe mode? and must be reset by hitting the reset button. I talked with a tech and he told me that this was because I was leaving it in the charging cradle to long and it was putting itself into safe mode to protect itself from over charging "really"... I have made sure not to over charge and it is still having the same issue.Okay, the last thing that I can think of is Sony?s proprietary connector. There is no other way to charge it so you?ll need to carry this bulky charging cable with you. There are no car chargers and you can?t charge through the USB. Sony I have been a loyal customer for many years, and if this product is any indication of your future, I am really looking and staying clear on another investment with the ?Sony? name.
On the good side, I have an awesome $400 universal remote controller.
