Description
editIt was released as theAndroid version of theSony Vaio P who also had a wide screen.[4]
It has two 5.5-inch (140 mm)touchscreen interoperating displays joined in a hingedclamshell layout, resembling theVAIO P series.[5] It was released in November 2011, as the second available member of the Sony Tablet series. The suggested retail price is $599.
While the unique clamshell design allowed the device to fold in half and fit into a pocket, this feature resulted in the screen being split in half by a large, black hinge, which made playing games and reading awkward and is cited as the Tablet P's most serious flaw. The Tablet P was discontinued in North America by the end of 2012 and received its final software update to Android 4.0.4 shortly after.[6]
