So the weird shaped Sony Honeycomb tablet is indeed real, but the real thing doesn’t look so weird after all. Concept designs are always exaggerated, meh. Right, enough ranting from me, let’s talk about the tablet. Sony hosted a press event in Tokyo yesterday where the company announced a pair of Android 3.0 tablets. Yes, there’re two Honeycomb slates.

The first is the 9.4-inch S1 media tablet (aka, Qriocity focused) with a curved top much like a folded magazine and both front- and rear-facing cameras. The S1 features a Tegra 2 SoC and customized “Quick and Smooth” touch panel UI with “Swift” web browser. It can also be used as a remote control for Sony gear thanks to integrated infrared, which sounds so yesteryear.

The second tablet is the dual-screen S2 clamshell with its pair of 5.5-inch 1,024 x 480 pixel displays, Tegra 2 SoC, and camera. While it sounds bulky, Kunimasa Suzuki just pulled the hinged tablet from his jacket pocket on stage, which makes it like a pocketable-tablet. Cool right, reminds me of Nokia’s first communicator. Sony takes advantage of the two screens with a custom book-style UI layout for its e-reader app, email (keyboard on one display with your messages on the other), and others.

Both the S1 and S2 tablets are PlayStation Certified and are WiFi and 3G/4G “compatible” according to Sony. Of course, the codenames will change in time to a more ‘marketable’ name, and is expected to come in fall.
