Sony S2 leak

 

Engadget is on a roll these days with rumors related to Sony. After publishing a full fledged preview of Xperia Play and info on 9.4-inch S1 PlayStation tablet, they’ve now published details of two upcoming devices. First is S2, featuring a unique oval cylindrical design with dual touch-screen displays. Both the displays will measure 5.5-inch in size and boast specs similar to S1 with Tegra 2, Wi-Fi, 3G, front and rear-facing cameras and Qriocity support.

Next up is a 9.4-inch VAIO-branded Windows 7 slider. The device is pitted against the likes of Samsung’s 7 Series Slider PCs but is said to underwhelm due to Pinetrail-class Atom CPU and $799 price tag.

Expect the S2 to reach consumers before holiday season whereas the VAIO-branded slider PC by fall.
