Sony Tablet P Overview
The Sony Tablet P was released along with its bigger brother, the Sony Tablet S. Both have very interesting designs, but Sony decided to especially go all out on this one. It is a foldable, clamshell tablet with two displays.
Both screens measure 5.5-inches diagonally. This form-factor allows the tablet to be much more portable while keeping some good screen real estate. Specs include a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, Android 3.2 and 1 GB of RAM, along with dual-cameras.
In the US, the Tablet P is available from AT&T, with 4G HSPA+ connectivity.

Sony Tablet P Reviews
The Verge "Sony's doing things very differently with the Tablet P, but is it fixing what wasn’t broken? Or does the new form factor solve a design problem we didn't know tablets had?"
CNET "The Sony Tablet P's clamshell design makes it very convenient, but its expensive price and the awkward implementation of its dual screens make for an undesirable tablet experience."
Engadget "We're always willing to give another form factor a try and in the Tablet P (£500), we certainly had that."
T3 "Sony's Android 3.2-based Tablet P took a while to get to UK shores but, thanks to the clamshell dual-screen, it was worth waiting for..."
Pocket Lint "The question is, does this unique-looking device bring enough to the table to justify its steep asking price, or is it just another niche product that will sell tiny numbers and disappear without a second version ever being produced?"
Slash Gear "With a unique clamshell design they can call their own that we’ve never seen from an Android this is truly a one-of-a-kind tablet."
Tech Radar "This time last year - when the Tablet P wasn't even a twinkle in Sony's eye - we were weeping into a mound of rubbish iPad rip-offs, begging for sweet release from our tiresome lives."
Android Community "So it was with some anticipation that I received Sony’s Tablet P, a singular device that sets out to put an impressively-sized screen in a small body that’s made possible by a folding hinged design, achieving more portability than anything in its class."
Trusted Reviews "The Sony Tablet P is the perfect illustration of why Sony has risen so high but also fallen so low."
PCMag "The Sony Tablet P does not make good use of its interesting dual-screen design, offering up both a sub par gaming experience with no physical buttons and an awkward Android tablet experience."
Laptop Mag "The Sony Tablet P tries to double your tablet pleasure with two displays, but it doesn't make the most of its versatile design."
Phone Arena "For a company that’s still getting its foot established in the US smartphone market, we were surely impressed with the Sony Tablet S when it was released for too long ago, which was remarked as Sony’s first step into the Android Honeycomb realm."
