 Hey guys, it's David with The Verge and we're here looking at the Sony Xperia Tablet S. It's brand new, it was just announced in Berlin, but we got a chance to check it out in New York City as well. So as you can see, it looks a little bit like some of the Sony tablets before. It's super light and really thin, it looks really nice. It runs a Tegra 3 processor, it has Android 4.0, and it has some waterproof covering and a 9.4 inch 1280x800 display. So there are a bunch of new accessories that come with the tablet, but one of the coolest ones is this keyboard case. It's a $99 case and the tablet slides in and then actually props up, it reminds us a bit of the Microsoft Surface. So it has these capacitive keys here which automatically are enabled when you put it in and they're actually surprisingly good for typing. It's a little laggy that we've seen, but it's pretty accurate and it's a big keyboard and it's a cool thing to have that doesn't add any weight to a case. And then whenever you're done you can just close it and then it just carries around like any other folio case you might have. But what's really interesting is some of the software that Sony has put in, so let's take a look at some of that. One of the biggest changes they've made is to the universal remote control. There was already a universal remote on here, but now you can actually add as many devices as you want and you can add macros. So you can do things like turn on your TV and your Blu-ray player and tune to a certain channel all at once. It makes it a much more capable remote control. It all works through an IR blaster on the device. And it's a pretty neat thing to have on a device that's likely to be in your home anyway. There's also a really visual TV guide that shows you all the things that are on TV at any given time and based on what you've watched and it'll connect to your social networks, it'll actually make a TV show bigger or smaller based on what you want to watch. So like apparently I really want to watch first take and I'm less interested in day planning. It's just a cool way to watch TV and is a way better way to navigate all your junk. There's also a new guest mode on the tablet, which is pretty cool. It's an easy way to switch between different users which gives you different permissions for certain apps and disable settings or won't let you into the browser. And it's a great way if you have kids especially to say, here you can play games but we don't want you looking at the internet or accidentally buying things on the Play Store. It's a really clever easy feature to get in and out of you and you just need a passcode to get out. And then just like that you're right back to where you were. There's also a lot of Sony's other software from its Xperia phones. This is the first Xperia tablet so they've branded it with the same look and feel and a lot of the same apps. You get the play memories and there's the music unlimited and the video unlimited so it's definitely designed to be used in conjunction with an Xperia phone. So that's pretty much it. This is the Sony Xperia Tablet S. It's going to be available next week but it's up for pre-order now. It starts at $399 and depending on how much storage you want can cost up to $599.

 It's brand new, it was just announced in Berlin, but we got a chance to check it out in New
