The Sony Tablet P (former code name Sony S2) is a tablet computer that was manufactured by Sony as part of the Sony Tablet series.
Description It was released as the Android version of the Sony Vaio P who also had a wide screen. It has two 5.5-inch (140 mm) touchscreen interoperating displays joined in a hinged clamshell layout, resembling the VAIO P series. 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.
Reception The Verge praised the innovative design but noted that third-party apps not optimized for the dual screens offered a poor experience. It was retrospectively called a flopped product.
