Buy or Wait for new Sony tablet (if a new one comes out)?

[DdcCabuslay]

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 S is a good piece of kit. Not sure about the "old" bit. It is less than a year old.
Wouldn't hold your breath on Sony making a new tablet though.

Don't bother it's a hunk of junk. you would be better off with asus transfomer prime.

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.

Sony will be bringing s2 later tbis year with quad core processor, but I'm happy with mine.if you wee to wait then you have to wait and wait as technology is evolving at a fast pace you get new things every 6 months.so go for the s1 good machine

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.

If you are buying new there are better tablets for the price.

Start at an Asus TF300 and go from there.

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.

People must not forget the price diff on tablets. I would love a bmw x1 but cant efford it so i got a mazda 5 instead.

The prime is what, £499. Sony S is £299

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.
