Sony S1 and S2 spotted with Android Honeycomb 3.2

Software

In April, Sony announced the S1 and the S2, two tablets expected to launch this fall. Initially we presumed the devices would run Android 3.1, but leaked screenshots obtained by Carrypad suggest the tablets will actually run the newest Android 3.2 Honeycomb iteration of the operating system. Android 3.2 will add a new app-zoom feature and is the last major build expected before Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS. We already knew that Sony would be including its Sony PlayStation Suite software on the tablets, but now it appears Sony will add Zinio and an official Chumby application out-of-the-box, too. Unfortunately, it looks like the company used a proprietary charging port as well. AT&T has already promised to carry the S2 but it has yet to name a price or launch date. Read on for a few screenshots from Carrypad.

    Shouldn’t all Android tablets these days ship with 3.2 standard? Why would this be news?

    If it’s not an Apple thread – the AndroidNerds won’t post.  Here’s your Android thread – helllooo?  Where’s all the Android whiners who flock to Apple thread to bitch about there not being enough Android threads?  

    Oh yeah, they are waiting for Apple threads.

    Damn, I hate proprietary connectors as everybody, but this SE connector SUCKS. I loved the old Sony Ericsson phones, but these type of connectors are too flimsy, and always fail after some time.

    Sony’s too late with too little. Won’t sell, even if they pour 1 gazillion into advertising.

    Sony should have used its own operating system (PS VITA) for there tablet OS, now they have a terra 2 tablet that gpu is trailing behind the iPad 2. It will not sell well.
