make it with a naked eye 3D-ready screen i will be more interested cause that will be more special compare from all the upcoming tablet model recetly...

is touchscreen feature can't be apply on 3D screen then make a rear touch pad just like the NGP...


That will cost lots of $$$$...for a device which is mostly for content consumption and not content creation, that would be too much money.


That's understandable. As a consumption device it would be to high of a price, but the $600 price tag for the wi-fi only model isn't going to help it much either. Of course with Sony launching so many other new devices from now to March 2012. Sony needs devices that will be selling at a profit or very close to that point right of of the gate, just to keep going as a company.

I agree... I think the time of "lets wait and see where the fish bite" approach is not going to work here since so many players want the piece of the pie.

I think with this tablet, Sony is banking on the fact that people will buy an android Xperia game phone and will want a tablet where they can enjoy this gaming content on a slightly bigger screen. Would be a sound strategy 3 years ago but these days even a business device like blackberry playbook is shipping with Need for Speed, Quake... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y49l0J6VUqk


That is true. I feel Sony might be just throwing a tablet device out to see how it does. I don't honestly forsee Sony putting to much effort into making it a "top tier PlayStation" product. I think they will port things over from the PSP, Xperia Play, NGP and PSN, but I don't think games would be developed for it and then ported to another device.

 

Unless Sony needs to stock up on Minis. Which is something I could see Sony really pushing, now that SCE and Google are becoming strong partners.
