Just as title says. I'm looking to buy a tablet, preferably the S. I'm aware that the S is a fairly old tablet, but Sony hasn't announced anything new. Should I wait for a new model from Sony or get the S?

Sony just upgraded S to ISC 4.0.3, so it is not old. I dout there will be new release soon. There is nothing missing from this, so just buy it. Works great for me.

Don't bother it's a hunk of junk. you would be better off with asus transfomer prime.
What a great input to the topic!

I say buy one, I love mine. It was worth every penny.
have a search round in these forums theres loads of love/hate topics to read and see what people think of it.

I was considering the transformer prime, or maybe wait for the infinity...
But the dilemma between that was performance vs. features. The tablet S has a few more features like IR blaster that really intrigued me.
The S is currently on sale for 329.99 for 16 GB. We'll see what happens I guess.

Wait for the new one if you have the patience. It will probably be announced in a month or two. if you cant wait that long, the current S is not too shabby either. I still love mine. You might even get a good deal on ebay for a used model.

The transformer is not in the same price bracket, just so you know.

Woot had a killer deal on these last week. Brand new, 32GB with the cradle for $259 (plus $5 shipping). I got one for sure and can't wait to get it on Friday. It'll be replacing my HP Touchpad 32GB running Android 4.04. Too many issues with that beast although I love it dearly.

Yea I was on the fence for the Sony S, but that deal on Woot sealed it for me. Got mine yesterday and it is pretty nice. Do some price hunting. I agree, the retail price is high for a Tegra 2 tablet.

Also depends on your needs... if you do not really need cutting edge, HD screen, why pay for it.
