But Sony probably won't care as this is a device built to compete with the best that Apple, rather than Android, has to offer. So, as well as top-notch processing capabilities, the tablet has integrated digital noise-canceling technology (a world first) and at just 6.4mm thick and tipping the scales at 426g despite its 10.1-inch display, Sony can not only claim that it's the slimmest, lightest waterproof tablet ever made, it can also say that it's thinner and lighter than the 7.5mm thick 469g iPad Air. The display is wonderful, thanks to Sony's TV know-how, and the device has clearly been designed to perform in the areas that tablet users really want -- multimedia consumption, gaming, web browsing and occasional productivity.
