Sony has cut the price of its entry-level Tablet S model by $100, now pitting the Android Honeycomb tablet against other mid-range tablet offerings from other brands like Asus, Toshiba and Samsung.
Sony has slashed the price of the 16 GB Tablet S from $499.99 to $399.99. Meanwhile, the same price cut is being offered for the 32 GB Tablet S ? from $599.99 to $499.99. These new $100 price reductions come after a $50 price cut across the board in the previous weeks, which was a promotional discount. Now, it?s not clear whether Sony plans to keep the prices at this reduced level, although that seems to be the case.
The new $399.99 price point for the entry-level Tablet S puts the Android Honeycomb tablet squarely against similar models from other brands, including the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer (sans keyboard), Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and Toshiba Thrive. Sony is adding a few other goodies into the mix, including five free PlayStation Store downloads and 180 days of free access to Music Unlimited. Buyers also get 8 store credit?for renting Video Unlimited movies, along with five free rentals,?with the purchase of a Tablet S.
But will this be enough to attract prospective Android Honeycomb tablet buyers? It might be a good idea to wait for further announcements from other brands. CES 2012 is coming in just a few weeks, so brands might be reducing prices to accommodate new tablet launches. Apple is likewise rumored to be planning to lower the prices of the iPad 2, along with an upcoming release of the next-generation iPad tablets. But if you like Sony products, consider that even the Pope himself has used a Sony Tablet S to activate a Christmas light display this last December.
