Aging CPU
No way to add memory
Buggy camera
Expensive for what you're getting
Keyboard didn't always keep up with our keystrokes
Particularly when typing in a Web address
Below average performance
Sony services don't mesh well together
HDMI requires dongle. Some Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Below average battery life

Waking the tablet from sleep takes way too long
And its screen flickers intermittently. Price is a bit high for what's offered
Some software bugs
Streaming content via DLNA hit or miss
No HDMI port
Annoying port cover flap
Terrible cameras
Weak speakers
Remote control app is limited
Numerous glitchy or limited special features

Price

Slightly drab design
Too many preinstalled apps
It's on the pricey side
The charging adapter is proprietary

No HDMIout
Slow response with its keyboard

The Sony Tablet S goes above and beyond the typical Android tablet experience by offering exclusive apps, ergonomic design, PlayStation certification for mobile gaming, DLNA video and music streaming, and an integrated IR universal remote control
It's on the pricey side, the charging adapter is proprietary, and screen brightness isn't what it could be
Sony took its time with Tablet S, and it shows. The industrial design is smart, and the software refinements are both practical and restrained.
