New Sony tablets to feature SD card slots? 3 May 2011 15:35:48

Two new tablets unveiled by Sony may be compatible with memory cards.

Sony is yet to release specifications to reveal whether or not the S1 and S2 tablets will come with SD card slots.

The devices mark Sony’s first foray into the tablet market and will both use Google's Android 3.0 operating system.

"Android 3.0 is a new version of the Android platform with a new holographic user interface that is designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets," said Andy Rubin, senior-vice president of mobile at Google.

"I'm excited about 'Sony Tablet' as it will further spur the development of applications and network offerings which users are looking for."

While the S1 comes with a 9.4-inch display, the S2 has two 5.5-inch screens that can be combined and used as a large screen or as two separate displays for different functions, such as playing video on one screen while showing control buttons on the other.
