Although it may not have been the most popular tablet in terms of sales after its release, the Sony P series is certainly one of the more ‘different’ varieties of tablet to be released. Despite the poor reception at its full price however, surely the latest deal from Currys in the UK will boost sales of the device further, as who can resist a deal for a 4GB tablet with 3G capability for just under £130?

The Sony P is the tablet that has two LCD touch screens (5.5″ each), 1GB RAM,Wi-Fi and 3G, along with the Micro SD card storage which allows users to boost the storage of the device to their liking which many tablets don’t allow. The tablet runs with Honeycomb – Android 3.2 – out of the box and features the Tegra 2 processor. There are also 2 cameras on the device, front and back facing with the rear camera offering HD quality. The screens themselves offer superb quality as they use Sonys own TruBlack technology.

Both Currys and PC World have the Sony P tablet on offer as a web deal currently at a reduction of around 34% on their price in store. Click and collect is available where by consumers pay the web price and then simply collect the item in their local store, if the store has stock of the tablet that is. At £129.99, this deal offers the cheapest Sony P tablet in the UK, a deal not to be missed.

Sony, like many other manufacturers have jumped into the tablet market and we saw two tablets announced by them a few months back. Both tablets stood apart from the rest of the crowd. The Sony Tablet S, previously known as the S1 was released back in September and featured a design which has been described as being similar to a folded back magazine. Sony’s other tablet entry, the Tablet P, previously known as the S2 features two 5.5 inch touch screen displays and a clam shell design akin to Nintendo’s DS.

The Sony Tablet P has now been released in the UK and comes with a £499.99 price tag. For that, you get two 5.5 inch displays, with 1024×480 resolution, 1GB RAM, 4GB internal storage, microSD support, dual core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and a 5 megapixel camera on the back, with a VGA camera on the inside. The tablet runs Android 3.2 which, will most likely be upgraded to Android 4.0 some time in the future. The Tablet P, along with the Tablet S comes with PlayStation certification and there are already several PSone games that have been ported to the tablets, such as Wipeout and Crash Bandicoot.

While Sony have dared to be different with the design, it seems like they have dared to be different with the price tag as well. Most tablets are around the £400 mark, such as the Apple iPad and Sony’s Tablet S so it will be interesting to see how this uniquely designed tablet will fare in the market.
