As far as what? Playstation games? Its fine the controls Crash and Pinball work real well. If you mean regular android games they work great too :)

Performance is acceptable.

Gaming is decent. Comparable to other android tablets, however I feel as if gaming in general is slower compared to comparative models.

In my experience Ipad2 is better at gaming, tab 10.1 is better and Jetstream is better (which is surprising).

But overall... gaming is acceptable.

To me this is a Tablet first, a simple device for browsing the web, reading emails and running simple small programs. Gaming is just a bonus, I find it fine for simple games but if it's a real concern you should be looking at a dedicated platform or a gaming PC.

ugh so laggy
Uhm guys... just noticed something weird - Maedhros, please let me know if this is the lag you mention:

Playing my youtube link on the sony tablet gets really laggy / skipping whole video sections if I play it in a Browser tab!

But then it works just fine if I choose to play it directly in the youtube app!

I haven't chosen a default app to play youtube videos yet, so there's a prompt for me choose...!

Can anyone else on 3.2 confirm this, please?

Hmm... yea ur right this is what happens to me. I hadn't realized that the youtube player app was fine.

In the browser it isn't as good as the app.

I can confirm this on both Tablet S and Galaxy Tab 10.1, did a research and found out that it's Tegra 2 processor issue

Man... there is litterally no reason to keep this tablet :mad:

Have had nothing but trouble with it.

Honestly, no reason at all to pick up this tablet over the Jetstream

I was disappointed by the Xperia phones and now by this tablet. Last time I purchase any Sony mobile devices.

This thread seems to indicate otherwise, as it is likely to have its fair share of issues as well.

Regardless, the issue noted with youtube here derives from not using the proper tool, when available.

Either way, good luck with it, hope it works better than the Sony for you on all counts!

Dude you are literally staring to spam this board and thus starting to get annoying. If you got rid of your tablet S then great, bye bye. To say "Man... there is litterally no reason to keep this tablet " is beyond idiotic. It is general consensus that the Tablet is is easily one of the best Android tablets out right now. It is also arguably more functional, useful and robust that an iPad with its severely outdated OS. To mention the Jetstream is just an insult. Battery life is fine. The video playback issues you had are EASILY fixed by downloading a proper video player with a codec off the market. I was skeptical when purchasing this tablet but have had no "issues" at all with it that are not related to the bugginess of honeycomb. None.
