While using starhub data on my phone, it is slow for net surfing.

But when I turn it to hotspot for my tablet, it seems to be faster surfing on tablet.

Anyone have similar experiences?

Ya seems faster. But I think its because of Honeycomb's faster browser

How is the battery life of this tablet?

Will update after using a few days

So far so good. New tablet user. I have been using it for 3 days on first charge, moderate use only. I do noticed videos drain battery faster.

thanks, the tablet that i am using now has a lousy battery life, only lasting two hours even though it has a 7000mh battery. Time for a change i guess.

After one month with Sony Tablet. I missed my iPAD. Battery life sux, browsing also not very smooth (keep expanding big or small when surfing HWZ) and I can't find a lot of good free apps.

The recent price cut seems to have worked for Sony in UK

Sony claims Android tablet lead
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/sony/9036214/Sony-claims-Android-tablet-lead.html

A company spokesman said that Sony’s products accounted for 26 per cent of the UK market in October, the most recent period for which independent data is available.

Sony also claims it has had a successful Christmas, but conceded that it was likely to have been beaten on tablet sales by aggressively priced BlackBerry Playbooks.

The 26 per cent claim is based on share of the total Android tablet market by value; although Sony has two models on sale, the dominant product, the ‘S’, usually retails for similar or slightly lower prices than its rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Unit sales were not released, but Apple continues to dominate the tablet market overall.

The two Sony tablets are unusual because the larger ‘S’ adopts a wedge-shaped profile while the ‘P’ uses two screens. Manufacturers have been trying to differentiate themselves as most tablets using the Google Android operating system offer similar functions and the same basic sotware. HTC and Motorola have introduced models with a stylus while Samsung has attempted to compete with Apple by making its Galaxy Tab models thinner than the iPad.

Sales figures are not normally made public, but usually relate to a period up to two months before to allow for returns and stocktaking. GfK data is often used by manufacturers for internal purposes.

Spokespeople for other manufacturers declined to comment.

You are better off buying those HSBC Visa Infinite card Sony tablets that people are selling on HWZ. 500 odd for a brand new 32GB

Did you sold off your ipad for tablet s?

The auto brightness is a little screwy. Sometimes too dark, sometimes no effect. Anyone facing the same issue? If its a hardware issue I can bring back for 1-1 exchange.

UPDATE: Its working properly. Its just a bit slow

Maybe you unknowingly had a flash app running or didn't terminate properly. That's why Apple refused to allow flash. Happened to me before and the CPU was running on full utilisation draining the battery
