hey guys Eric Franklin here and today I'm taking a first look at the Sony Tablet P the first thing you'll notice about the P is that it has a dual screen hinge base design that allows the tablet to be compacted like a clamshell each screen measures 5.5 inches and each is capable of high brightness output once compacted the tablet fits nicely into most large pockets there's a low res 0.3 megapixel front camera and a 5 megapixel back camera while the OS displays over both screens some apps like the Android Market will only display in the top screen which is a bit frustrating with some apps like the Marvel Comics app either watching on a 5.5 inch screen or over both screens the problem is this small space between the screens making the full screen experience less than seamless the same goes for Android games in most movie players however the Sony movie player and photo app make good use of the screens by separating controls from output the PIA includes limited PlayStation Store support with access to some PlayStation 1 games the games we play from the store are well implemented placing most of the controls on the bottom screen with the game on the top the peas battery is removable and there's microSD memory expansion up to 32 gigabytes the P is available for $400 if you sign up for a two-year contract with AT&T this gives you access to its HSPA+ network however I don't recommend getting roped into a two-year contract with any tablet off-contract is available for 550 bucks if you're looking for something just a little bit different in an Android tablet dual screens and a compatible clamshell design does fit the bill it's really cool-looking I love the way it folds also the removable battery is useful and a five megapixel back camera takes pretty detailed pictures unfortunately the PlayStation Store is limited and not to mention an old game selection isn't exactly killing me with anticipation and while I appreciate that novel approach to design it's not implemented seamlessly and there are just better tablet solutions out there and around the same price or lore check out the full review for more details once again I'm Eric Franklin and this has been the first look at the Sony Tablet P
